| As a school of the digital era, it becomes crucial to invest in a robust student management system to collect comprehensive student data. It is especially important to undertake this for students in the 10th grade as it aids in identifying those who are at risk of dropping out, based on their performance and involvement.
Using this data, schools can intervene proactively by offering support services and crafting personalized learning programs to get students involved and reinforce their commitment to the institution.
Building on this, let’s dive into the four distinctive steps to retain your top performers: |

Equip your top performers with the key tools for attaining higher education success by offering specialized college preparation guidance. This could include providing assistance with college applications, test preparation courses or scholarship resources to help students navigate the transition to higher education successfully.
