MAKES A DIFFERENCE
.
Schools that have been
implementing Navigation 101
over the past four years have
seen on-time graduation rate
increases three times the state
as a whole. This is especially
significant in the context that
our grantees reflect a much
more diverse student
community than the state
profile.
