Abstract (written by WestEd)
Breakthrough High Schools features 12 schools with high minority, high poverty populations that have achieved significant gains in student performance, as well as graduation and college admission rates. In analyzing these schools that may serve as models for others, this resource identifies common factors and supplies ideas for high school principals as they work to raise student achievement, prevent dropouts, increase graduation rates, and prepare students for postsecondary education.

Calls for improving our nation's secondary schools are increasing. From government initiatives to media attention to new research efforts, the focus on middle and high school reform is intensifying. This issue of R&D Alert draws on WestEd's work in this area to offer solutions for improving literacy in secondary schools, developing effective small schools, and better preparing underserved high school students for success in post-secondary education and beyond.
