The 760 off-track students in Cohort 2007 vary substantially in what they need to graduate.

100 students, while behind in credits, have demonstrated their academic ability by passing at least 4 regents exams.

These 213 students will be the most difficult to help graduate.

Of all off track students in Cohort 2007, these 380 students are in the best position to graduate with targeted interventions. The campuses with the highest concentrations of these students are:

• Morris (59) (4 schools)• Stevenson (49) (5 schools)

• Walton (46) (3 schools)• Prospect Heights (40) (3 schools)

• Bushwick (46) (4 schools)

Breakdown of 27 Off Track Students:Regents Passed

Cohort 2008

The grid shows where each off track student falls in terms of being behind in credits and/or regents. Students who fall in different boxes within the grid may require different strategies for helping them graduate. Students towards the upper right have the fewest barriers to becoming on track; students in the lower left are behind both in regents and in multiple subject areas.
