Children at Risk of Not Graduating from High School

Every school district in Wisconsin is required to identify and serve students who meet the statutory definition of being a child at risk of not graduating from high school under §118.153 (1), Wis. Stats.

The Department of Public Instruction administers the Children at Risk of Not Graduating from High School Aid Program. This is a categorical aid reimbursement program established by the Wisconsin Legislature to provide $3.5 million to prevent school failure in students who are determined to be at risk of not graduating from high school. Available to schools with a high number of dropouts, the program funds specialized services for at-risk youth.
