요약 : According to Feller (2005), only 68 percent of ninth graders will complete high school within four years. The National Center for Education Statistics reported that the average freshman graduation rate (AFGR) was 73.2 percent in 2007--2008 (NCES, 2010). Of all school districts in the United States reporting to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES, 2005 and 2010), 67 percent of the students were administered an out-of-school suspension as a disciplinary action, 52 percent received in-school suspensions, and 45 percent received corporal punishment. Two-thirds of the nation's students leave high school unprepared to apply to a four-year college, let alone get an undergraduate degree (NCES, 2005).

요약 : Freshman Academy is defined as an organizational structure within a high school where a concentrated focus is on freshman students. Ultimately, the goal is to ease the transition of students from middle school to high school. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to determine whether a Freshman Academy would impact student discipline, attendance, social development, and achievement as determined by teacher perceptions and experiences. An overarching goal was to analyze through interviews, artifact review, and observations whether the Freshman Academy concept could reduce dropout rates that currently plague public high schools. One-on-one interviews were conducted, using a guided questionnaire, with five core teachers (who previously taught freshmen before the implementation of the Freshman Academy), three upper class teachers (primarily sophomore teachers), two administrators, and a counselor. Other data points came from a review of documents, observations and artifacts throughout the school and the Freshman Academy wing.
초록/해제  
요약 : This case study revealed that a Freshman Academy has a positive impact on student achievement, discipline and attendance. Additionally, teachers are swayed by the structure in the way that they think and act with each other and the instructional process of powerful teaching and learning. Ninth grade students attending the research site achieve better grades, attend school more often, and display fewer discipline issues that disrupt the learning process. The Freshman Academy has established strong positive relationships in a familylike atmosphere. The primary themes that emerged as a result of the compilation of all data points were: personalization, collaborative effort, location/proximity, common discipline approach, instructional expectations, and supporting high school success and administrative support. A major point to this research is that the concepts are applicable to other models of school reform such as charter schools, or Early College or Leadership Academies.
