Students in struggling high schools would get more counselors to help them graduate.
This bill would create a new program to give federal grants to high schools with low graduation rates. These grants would help schools hire more counselors and provide extra support to students who are at risk of dropping out. The goal is to boost graduation rates and ensure more students earn a high school diploma.
Today, many high schools struggle with high student-to-counselor ratios (averaging 376 to 1) and low graduation rates, especially for certain student groups. This bill would create a new federal grant program for Title I secondary schools with graduation rates of 60 percent or lower. These schools would get funds to hire additional counselors and provide targeted support to students at risk of dropping out, aiming to increase graduation rates by at least 10 percent.
