Title: The Effects of High School Non-Promotion on High School Graduation, College, and Career Outcomes
Presentation Abstract: Non-promotion is a common practice across the United States. However, few studies examine the impact of non-promotion in high school on student outcomes. This project uses data from the MLDS to examine descriptive patterns in grade promotion versus non-promotion over time and by student subgroups. Second, this project investigates how non-promotion impacts students’ likelihood of high school graduation and postsecondary outcomes, including college enrollment, remedial coursework enrollment, and persistence. Finally, this project examines how non-promotion impacts students’ early career annual wages and wage visibility. The researcher will discuss implications for policy related to non-promotion in high school.
Presenter: Taylor Delaney, PhD, University of Oklahoma and MLDS Center Research staff, is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Oklahoma. She received her PhD in Public Policy and Administration from American University. Her research focuses on student pathways from high school to college and bachelor's degree attainment.
