This report lays out the foundation of Georgia's extensive efforts to improve the graduation rate in the state and to ensure that a Georgia diploma signifies adequate preparation for a student's life after high school, whether in higher education or the world of work. By referencing extensive qualitative and quantitative research, the document provides robust context for the state's graduation efforts and examples of the types of information and data that other states must address publicly if they hope to raise graduation rates. The report also provides activities for administrators, teachers, and students to complete in an effort to support students through the transition into high school and on through graduation. These activities could be adapted in a variety of ways in any state that is working to increase its graduation rate.
