High School Equivalency Program

The program supports educational programs that assist migrant students aged 16 and over to gain a high school equivalency certificate or admission to a postsecondary institution or training program.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The program serves a very difficult to reach population that is not served through other migrant education programs, and a population in which only 15% complete 8th grade.
  • The program does not have a strong system for holding grantees accountable for results and for taking results into account when competing new awards. Historically, the same institutions have received awards year after year.
  • The program has annual goals and targets but does not have long-term goals and targets. The program measures high school equivalency certificate attainment, but it does not measures improvements in employment or post-secondary education outcomes.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Developing a reporting system to verify self-reported data and to ensure that performance data are being collected consistently across grantees.
  • Establishing effective methods for utilizing performance data to hold grantees accountable for improving results.
  • Establishing long-term goals for the program that address employment and post-secondary education outcomes achieved by participants who complete the program.
