Last year, the state’s graduation rate slipped 1 percentage point to 86.4%. East Side Union’s graduation rate dropped 2.6 percentage points to 86.9%, but some schools reported much greater decreases. Diaz said East Side Union has an “early warning system,” which alerts them when students need extra support. The early warning system works based on categories. There’s the green category which focuses on students who are missing school but not falling behind in classes. When students start getting a D or an F in a class as well as missing school, they move into the yellow category. They make it into red when they have multiple D’s or F’s and are constantly missing school.
