The Make-or-Break Year: Solving the Dropout Crisis One Ninth Grader at a Time

A groundbreaking chronicle of transformation in Chicago's public high schools reveals an entirely fresh approach to ending the high school dropout crisis. In this book, journalist and communications expert Emily Krone Phillips details the emergence of Freshman OnTrack, a program-cum-movement that is translating knowledge into action.

By reorganizing schools to support students through the treacherous transitions of freshman year, thousands of lives have been changed. Marshaling groundbreaking research on the teenage brain, peer relationships, and academic performance, Phillips explains how this simple idea has revolutionized education in Chicago's high schools.
