Abstract | This report focuses on the noteworthy achievement and the successful practices of 12 rural schools in the southern region that are members of the "High Schools That Work" (HSTW) school improvement network. Although these schools enroll high percentages of minority and/or impoverished students, they have managed to outperform rural southern schools with comparable demographics and exceed the mean on a number of state test indicators of academic achievement. This report provides insights into "what works" at these 12 schools and examines the implications of the effective practices of these schools in terms of local and state policies and improvement efforts. Appended are: (1) Best Practices with Number of High-achieving Rural Schools (out of 12) Using the Practice Extensively; (2) Proficiency Levels for the High Schools That Work Assessment; and (3) Indicators of Three Levels of High School Emphasis on Using Practices Associated with Higher Achievement. (Contains 14 footnotes and 21 tables.) (ERIC). |
