Freshman Academy Data

Data shows that our school's initiatives to support 9th grade students are demonstrating measurable success. Data from SY2022 through SY2026 shows significant progress in keeping freshmen on track. On-track rates have increased 17 percentage points, from 72% in SY2022 (Cohort 2025) to 89% in SY2026 (Cohort 2029). The number of off-track students has been nearly cut in half, declining from 115 students in SY2022 to just 50 students in SY2026—a 56% reduction. Most dramatically, the most recent cohort (SY2026) achieved an 89% on-track rate, representing an 11-point improvement from the previous year and our strongest performance to date.

Additionally, Math failures among off-track students dropped dramatically from 16% in SY2022 to just 5% in SY2024, suggesting that focused support in this critical subject area is yielding results. English failures have similarly declined from 14% to 5% over the same period. These improvements in core subject areas directly support students' ability to acquire the necessary credits for on-time progression toward graduation.

These gains indicate that our multi-faceted approach is successfully addressing the transition challenges freshmen face.
