The Ninth Grade Experiment.

Rourke, James R.

Principal Leadership, v1 n7 p26-30 Mar 2001

Several districts have taken a radical approach to middle/high school transitions, removing ninth-graders from the mix to give them the attention needed to succeed in high school. Three ninth-grade-only schools with 720 to 750 students in Virginia, Texas, and Pennsylvania are profiled. Students experience less social pressure from upper-classmen. (MLH)
