9th grade is a critical year for students. School gets tougher, the stakes are higher, and life after high school looms large. Philadelphia schools are organizing around the principle that supporting students early in high school can help them to persist, graduate, and successfully transition to a postsecondary option – college or career.
At November’s Compact, we discuss how Ninth Grade Academies, community partnerships, Career and Technical Education, and targeted support from counselors, educators, and administrators can align to strengthen postsecondary support and planning across neighborhood – and all – high schools.
Come to learn about Philadelphia’s new plans for college and career readiness, and to share your thoughts and questions.
