\n\n\n\n

As the school year comes to a close, Mapleton Expeditionary School of the Arts (MESA) is celebrating a major milestone \u2014 its highest-ever freshman on-track rate<\/strong>. This year, nearly every ninth grader is on track to graduate, marking a significant success for the school community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That number is a dramatic turnaround for a school that, just last year, had 14 students retained at the end of ninth grade, and even more in previous years. As of late April 2025, more than 80% of MESA\u2019s ninth graders are now on track to graduate, up from the mid-60% range a year ago. That nearly 14% improvement is one of the highest freshmen on-track rate increases in the country this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels great,\u201d said Jared Powell, MESA\u2019s Academic Success Coordinator. \u201cWe really look at graduation as a way for students to access careers in at least a middle-class lifestyle. If we\u2019re improving our graduation rates by about 15%, that\u2019s amazing work. We\u2019re really proud of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shift is thanks in large part to a Ninth Grade Success grant from the Colorado Department of Education, which allowed MESA to partner with the Center for High School Success (CHSS). The Center provided a roadmap of proven, quarter-by-quarter strategies to help students transition successfully into high school, with a focus on proactive supports, not reactive interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Building the Freshman Foundation<\/strong>

One of the most visible changes was the addition of a Freshman Seminar, a course designed to teach students how to be high school students. There they learn how to manage time, stay organized, reflect on progress, and understand the mechanics of credits and graduation. A weekly grade tracker also helps students evaluate what they are missing, make a plan, and assess how that plan is working.

\u201cI think it was really helpful to get the pace of how to fit everything together,\u201d said freshman Yadira L. \u201cThe tracker helped me stay accountable with what I was doing because I like to procrastinate.\u201d

Freshman Derek L. credits his turnaround in English class to small-group meetings led by Powell, where certain students set personal goals and learn executive functioning strategies. These goal-setting groups are part of a broader multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) used at MESA to identify students at varying levels of need and respond accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019d come up with steps to reach a goal, and he would show us the right steps to take,\u201d Derek said.

\u201cI started doing my assignments and realized it was easier than I thought. I\u2019m proud that everything I put my mind to, I could do it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting Everyone on the Same Page<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MESA\u2019s staff tracks student progress using a custom dashboard built in Tableau, the district\u2019s data visualization platform. The tool allows teachers and support teams to monitor grades, attendance, and course-specific struggles in real time. Students are grouped into different tiers, based on their grades and attendance, and a student success team meets weekly to tailor strategies and resources to the lower tiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s been really beneficial,\u201d Powell said. \u201cWe can identify and tailor things to individual kids much easier when we have a scheduled time and we take a really deep, data-driven approach together.\u201d Support also comes from peers. MESA launched a peer tutoring program where juniors and seniors\u2014many of whom overcame academic struggles themselves\u2014mentor underclassmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For families, MESA hosted parent education events to ensure everyone understood what it means to be on track, how to navigate the high school system, and how to support students at home. And to help students connect school to real-world goals, Powell arranged college and technical school visits so students could see the full range of postsecondary options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of ninth graders say they don\u2019t want to go to college, which is fine,\u201d Powell said. \u201cBut I tell them I look at college as anywhere you learn a skill and get a piece of paper saying you have a skill, so you\u2019re employable. It could be a four-year university or a trade school, but all those options start with graduating high school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yadira said the visits helped put things into perspective. \u201cIt was nice to see what we could be exposed to in later years and explore different things we could do in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Student\u2019s Story, Many Students\u2019 Success<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most powerful examples of the program\u2019s success in Powell\u2019s eyes was a student who came to MESA with a long history of academic struggles. He had been held back in elementary school, failed nearly every class in middle school, and had poor attendance. Nearing the end of his ninth-grade year at the school, he knows he will move on to tenth grade this fall, thanks to all of MESA\u2019s supports.

\u201cThat was a big moment for me when we realized that, like, this is working!\u201d Powell said. \u201cAt any other school not doing this work, without this team supporting him, he probably wouldn\u2019t be on track.\u201d

MESA staff are already planning to refine their model for next year, including exploring more academic intervention time in core subjects, and are in conversation with Mapleton\u2019s administration about replicating their model with other district schools.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve built something that works,\u201d Powell said.

\u201cNow it\u2019s time to make sure every ninth grader in our district has that same opportunity to succeed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
