The study focused on a group of 12th-grade students throughout their high school career, combining quantitative data such as successful course completion and graduation rates with qualitative insights from five educator interviews.

The study found that successful course completion rates increased for traditional courses by 11% and for credit recovery courses by 30%. In addition to those successes, the graduation rate for SDVS in 2022 was 90.3%.
