The latest annual report in a series tracking the U.S. high school graduation rate reveals that, while the national graduation rate is 83.2 percent, the nation could miss its goal of a 90 percent high school graduation rate by 2020 due to persistent equity gaps. The 2017 Building a Grad Nation report, the eighth annual update on progress and challenges in boosting high school graduation rates, reveals that only half of U.S. states are on track to reach a 90 percent high school graduation rate by 2020. A close look at the data shows disparities in graduation rates in five key areas.

Our education system has this funny quirk of grouping kids by birth date — rather than, say, intellectual ability or achievement or interest. But developmental pathways are as individual as kids themselves. And so there's a perpetual back-and-forth about whether to put certain kids in school a grade behind or ahead of their actual age. Recently we covered the research on "redshirting," or the practice of starting kindergarten a little late. That researcher concluded that it's usually better to go ahead and enroll kids as soon as they're old enough. For one thing, they will earn more money on average over a lifetime with that head start into the workforce.

The highest achieving students from Generation Z anticipate building careers in STEM fields and healthcare, and they aim to do it with advanced degrees and studies abroad. Seventy-six percent said they plan to attend graduate school, indicating that they are prepping for a workplace that will require specialized skills and education. These are some of the key findings of the National Society of High School Scholars' 2017 Career Interest Survey, an annual report that is focusing for the first time on Generation Z, or children born in the early 2000s and thereafter.

From standardized test review to building a strong resume of extracurriculars and challenging classes to preliminary research into colleges and majors, you will have many demands on your time. One way to buy yourself a bit of breathing room is to register for the earliest SAT or ACT test date. For the SAT, the first available exam session is Aug. 26, with a regular registration deadline of July 28. The first ACT test date is Sept. 9, with Aug. 4 as the regular registration deadline.

Have you ever overlooked a child for gifted education services? Be honest — then again, maybe they slipped through the cracks because, as many teachers do, you operated from some partially or completely inaccurate preconceived notions when identifying gifted students. I’m writing about an old problem. It's nothing new. But, before you stop reading, understand that this problem will remain a large problem unless school administrators and teachers do something about it.

It is important for a school or district to keep its themes, outlook and branding fresh in order to attract students and families, and it helps the school culture for students to have input into how the school is presented, according to a panel discussion between parents, students, teachers and administrators from New Jersey schools and districts at the 2017 National Principals Conference.

Many families will embark on road trips this summer that give teens the chance to explore colleges where they are interested in applying. Seeing colleges in person can help teens decide which colleges are the best fit. College campuses will probably not be as lively during the summer, but families say they are still worth visiting. U.S. News talked to parents and students who have visited colleges during the summer months and complied advice from others to help families plan trips in the Storify below.

Chrissy Romano-Arrabito, a contributor for EdSurge, writes: "As a student, my parents would inevitably hear the same thing at every Parent-Teacher conference — some variation of: 'She sure is a spirited one!' or 'Participation isn't an issue for her!' or my mother's personal favorite: 'She simply needs to stop talking.'"

Responding to our male students' fights, sexual misbehavior, or general misconduct with the comment "boys will be boys" is widely recognized as unhealthy and unacceptable. But when faced with name calling, rumor spreading, exclusion, and social sabotage among female students, the phrase "it's just girl drama — don't worry about it" is so widely used that sometimes it’s replaced with just an eye roll, a shrug, or a sigh — the phrase itself doesn't even need to be expressed in words.

Students who experienced personalized learning in school gained about three percentile points in mathematics relative to a comparison group of similar students, according to a RAND report on personalized learning. In the subject of reading, the study found a similar trend, although it was not statistically significant. The report determined that both low-performing and high-performing students appeared to benefit from personalized learning. The report builds on RAND's 2015 report on personalized learning, looking deeper into the implementation of the practice and exploring how it may play out as the innovation becomes more widespread.
