Over the course of three years, Moreno Valley Unified School District counseling staff from each high school worked collaboratively with district personnel, school administrative and teaching staff. They re-evaluated how they access and process data to monitor students. The effort among stakeholders created a system to provide early intervention for students not on track to graduate. As a result, graduation rates increased from 69.9 percent to 81 percent.
