“From One to Eight: A Longitudinal Portrait of the First Grade Class of 1995-1996”

.
Researchers at New York University found that only about one-third of the students in that 1st grade cohort progressed to the 8th grade on time. The study, which used student-level data provided by the city’s education department, also found that fewer than six in 10 students who started 1st grade in 1995, and were not in full-time special education, remained enrolled in a New York City public school eight years later.
