Anderson May, 1995 Any or all portions of this document may be reproduced and distributed without prior permission, provided the source is cited as: High school graduation requirements: What's happening for students with disabilities? (Synthesis Report No. 20). Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota, National Center on Educational Outcomes. Retrieved [today's date], from the World Wide Web: http://education.umn.edu/NCEO/OnlinePubs/Synthesis20.html Abstract Overview Graduation from high school is an integral and cherished part of the U.S. educational system. Having sufficient numbers of students graduate is viewed as important to our nation's competitiveness in a global society. High school graduation is viewed as so important that increasing the graduation rate is one of our nation's educational goals. Goal 2, first endorsed by the governors and the President of the U.S. in 1989, and now codified in law through Goals 2000: Educate America Act (Public Law 103-227), states that "by the year 2000, the high school graduation rate will increase to at least 90 percent" (P.L. 103-227). This goal is supported by two objectives that call for (a) a significant reduction in school dropout rates, along with the successful return and graduation of 75% of those who have already dropped out, and (b) a reduction in the gap between the high school graduation rates of students with minority and non-minority backgrounds.
