When high school is too much: 1 in 4 don't graduate.
High school graduation rates are considered a key indicator of future student success and earning potential. In his State of the Union address, President Obama encouraged states to pass laws to require students to stay in school until they graduate or they turn 18. It is estimated that high school graduates will earn $130,000 more over their lifetimes than dropouts.In this article Wisconsin was sited as one of twelve states that has made the most improvement gains in this area. Yeah Wisconsin!
iForward is one way that students who have not found success elsewhere, can still graduate. It is a non-traditional approach to public education. Innovative public education.
You see, we believe that Schools Control the Conditions for Success. Let Wisconsin continue to be a part of the solution....... and not a part of the problem. Let's show the other states how it is done.
At iForward it is our business to provide hope and a future to young people. Let's not give up...... let's innovate and design programs where students will be successful. It is learning and skill development that matters most. It make a difference in their lives, reduces the need for more social welfare programs, and improves state and national economies.

High school graduation, as opposed to a GED or even the HSGT, is essential to preparation in an employer's mind for any consideration for meaningful employment with a future. On-line schools are an alternative for those who cannot or did not succeed in a face-to-face classroom environment.
