(AP)– A report shows Connecticut high school students learning exclusively at home during the pandemic are in greater danger of failing to advance to the next grade than those who opted for a model that includes at least some in-person learning.
The report, released Monday by the non-profit educational organization RISE, found that 33% of high school students in the nine urban districts it studied are in danger of not progressing to the next grade, which compares to about 15% in a non-pandemic year.
The organization examined the performance of more than 12,000 students during first 2 1/2 months of this school year.
