[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] California drop-out study

[kjhein at comcast.net]

Has there been research on similar occurances in other states? I know GA requires all 4 core subjects, not just math and LA. And have similar results been happening in CA in subsequent years?

California dropout spike coincided with onset of exit exams
In the first year that California high school students were required to pass exit exams, some 24,000 seniors dropped out, according to a report presented to the state's board of education. The report recommended California consider alternative means for seniors to prove their proficiency.
