The Predictive Validity of the Early Warning System Tool
Johnson, Evelyn; Semmelroth, Carrie
NASSP Bulletin, v94 n2 p120-134 Jun 2010
The Early Warning System is a tool developed by the National High School Center to collect data on indicators including attendance, grade point average, course failures, and credits earned. These indicators have been found to be highly predictive of a student's likelihood of dropping out of high school in large, urban areas. The Early Warning System tool was studied in two suburban schools. With the exception of attendance data, findings suggest that the indicators and suggested threshold for risk determination are predictive in suburban contexts. (Contains 3 tables.)
