Abstract: This request for OMB clearance is to collect data through a nationally representative survey of high schools during the 2014-15 school year. Data from the National High School Reform Study will inform a descriptive report on the strategies that high schools are using to help students graduate from high school, especially students at risk for dropping out and students in high schools with low graduation rates. Information from the survey will fill critical information gaps about the use and prevalence of high school reform strategies to support at-risk youth. The survey will be administered to a survey to a nationally representative sample of approximately 2,000 public high school administrators.
