To reach our goal of 80%, all of our almost on track students and 1,270 out of 2,391 off-track and discharged students will need to graduate.

Why are these students off-track?

The 2,391 off-track students in Cohort 2008 vary substantially in what they need to graduate.

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

These 1,446 students will be the most difficult to help graduate.

Of all off track students in Cohort 2008, these 477 students are in the best position to graduate with targeted interventions.
