About
Class of ’17 is a five-year initiative that follows North Texas students as they transition from middle school to high school and through graduation.
Class of ’17 explores the causes and consequences of the state’s school dropout crisis — and what schools, families and community groups are doing to help keep students in school.
KERA has been checking on these students each year since 2013 to document their accomplishments, their struggles — and their hopes for the future.
