CLOSING THE GRADUATION GAP
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, lead funder for the Early College High School Initiative, is committed to helping all students graduate from high school ready for college, work, and citizenship. This commitment is based on a vision of a secondary education system built on rigor and relationships — a system of high-quality, small high schools that offer rigorous preparation for any postsecondary education or employment pathway. “Closing the Graduation Gap,” outlines the foundation’s thinking on these issues, the evidence and research underpinning them, and a policy agenda that supports this vision of high-quality high schools for all students.
