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, according to a report released Monday by the nonprofit educational organization RISE.
The report found that 33% of high school students in the 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 report looked at more than 12,000 students in Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, Middletown, Norwalk, Naugatuck, Meriden and Stamford during the first 2 [1/2] months of the school year.
