School Holding Power

Texas schools are losing a student every four minutes

Nationally, our schools are losing one of every three students.

This lack of school holding power affects every one of us.

With the magnitude of this loss, what is needed is a seismic shift from dropout prevention to graduation for all. And all must mean all.

“Since this problem is systemic, the solutions must address schools as systems.”
– Dr. María “Cuca” Robledo Montecel, IDRA executive director

Communities and their neighborhood public schools can turn the tide. Together we can and must guarantee that every child graduates from high school!
