In the 2018-19 school year, 5,664 U.S. schools were identified as Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), meaning that thousands of students attended schools that performed in the bottom 5% of their state's accountability framework and/or had a graduation rate below 67%. Across the nation, states, parents, educators, principals and communities work tirelessly to support students within these schools, and many emerging bright spots demonstrate the achievement and growth that is possible. But school turnaround "is" hard--arguably one of the hardest things to do in education. This brief identifies three recommendations for states to consider that can be implemented across the four main state-level policy levers for supporting school turnaround. It also examines how three states--Wisconsin, Louisiana and New Mexico--are implementing the recommendations.
