This Golden LEAF grant will assist the Public Schools of Robeson County with the expansion of its Learning Acceleration Program (LAP) to help increase the graduation rate in Robeson County from its current level of 63%. This program targets all 9th-12th graders throughout the system that show at-risk behaviors which are early indicators of high risk for dropping out of school. LAP provides one-on-one tutoring and special counseling to help increase academic achievement, increase attendance, build self-confidence and increase the likelihood of graduation. Golden LEAF funds will leverage over $300,000 from other sources.
