Student Graduation/Retention

As part of its focus on student retention and persistence in education, EPI is interested in policies and practices that keep students in school and on track to graduation in high school and matriculation and success at the postsecondary levels. EPI conducts research and evaluation on school-based policies and practices related to high school performance and student drop-out prevention. EPI also provides professional development opportunities on issues related to this topic.
