Overview and Findings from Summer 2009 3/17/10

A Powerful Network 773 students served in 22 distinct summer transition programs in 2009 6 school districts actively participated A common focus on high school, college & career readiness for at-risk students 500 students received high school credit for participation

Resources Leveraged to Support Programs 36 full-time AmeriCorps/VISTA members 28 Masters students from Marylhurst Monthly Tri-Met passes and incentives for students Weekly career & college site visits: 135 visits to 58 businesses and 18 postsecondary institutions; 54 volunteer coaches accompanied students on visits Total value of in-kind support to programs: $556,972

A data-driven approach Driven by the Connected by 25 research: Using academic indicators as early as 8th grade we can target the students most likely to drop out

Six districts identified at-risk incoming 9th graders Common criteria Failed a core course in 8th grade Missed more than 15 days Scored low or very low on 2 or more benchmark tests 1/3 of the entire class met the criteria

Whom did we serve?

Impact on Students Feeling better prepared for 9th grade On a program exit survey, students reported that they were: Feeling better prepared for 9th grade 70% of surveyed students agree or strongly agree. Feeling more motivated to graduate 78% of surveyed students agree or strongly agree. Thinking more about their futures 83% of surveyed students agree or strongly agree. Considering new post high school options 76% of surveyed students agree or strongly agree. LEGEND: Strongly Agree Agree Sort of Agree Disagree Strongly Disagree N = 221

What did we hear from our partner programs? Participating in Ninth Grade Counts had a positive impact on our programming 95% of partner programs agree or strongly agree. Enhanced our services to youth 90% of partner programs agree or strongly agree. Allowed us to serve more students 65% of partner programs agree or strongly agree. We would participate in the initiative again

Importance of Summer Learning Many people imagine summers as a time of fun, enrichment and new opportunities Not the reality for many youth

Low-income students fall further behind Middle class students actually gain in reading achievement over the summer Low-income students lose more than two months of prior progress

Students drop out more in the summer Local Connected by 25 research confirmed that the risk of dropping out spikes dramatically each summer throughout high school
