Expert: Area graduation rates need to improve Workforce leader says seven area school systems must be better to attract business By Cathy SpauldingPhoenix Staff Writer “I want to see why students are not graduating,” she said.” If they are not moving to other schools, then we need to have some way we can have assessment and testing.”
Education Consortium President Derald Glover, also Fort Gibson School superintendent, said the consortium is working on various levels to improve graduation rates. “One thing we are trying as a group is the Career Pathways,” a program to help a student’s choice of classes become more career relevant, Glover said. The program helps put students in middle school and early high school on track to fit a desired career field. The program also helps students practice for ACT and Advanced Placement tests, he said. Schools also seek to improve graduation rates by lowering the dropout rate. For example, MHS has started a teacher advocate program in which teachers build relationships with students through mentoring and bonding sessions.
