Elementary School Children: Many Change Schools Frequently, Harming Their Education

Subject
Summary:

One-sixth of the nation's third graders--more than half a million children--have attended at least three different schools since starting first grade. Unless policymakers focus more on the needs of children who are changing schools frequently--often poor, inner city, and with limited English skills--these children may continue to do poorly in math and reading and risk having to repeat grades. Local school districts typically provide little additional assistance to these children. The Education Department could help by developing strategies to provide all eligible children, including those who have switched schools frequently, access to federally funded Migrant Education and Chapter 1 services. Timely and comparable record systems are one way to help mobile children receive services. For example, a child's school records often take up to 6 weeks to arrive in a new school, and student records often differ from states and districts.
