Agenda Item Summary:
|
Eliminating opportunity and achievement gaps by ensuring that all students have access and engagement with high-quality instruction is a core goal of the Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) 2025 Strategic Plan: Equity for All. Graduation rates for Hispanic students in ACPS reveal concurrent disparities, with Hispanic males experiencing significantly lower rates of On-Time Graduation (OTG).
|
|
Background:
|
The On-Time Graduation rate for Hispanic males parallels national data trends confirming lower graduation rates than white peers' graduation rates. The relationship between high school completion and post-secondary college and career readiness underscores the significance of opportunity gaps associated with graduation rate disparities among Hispanic males. Developing a more comprehensive profile of Hispanic males in the graduation cohort is integral to improving existing initiatives and expanding new supports.
