Middle and high school students who have dropped out of school or are at risk of dropping out have graduation options with Ombudsman,
no matter their circumstances:
- English language barriers
- Truancy
- Suspension
- Expulsion
- Family Challenges
Ombudsman helps students achieve their goal of earning a high school diploma and helps school districts improve graduation rates. Students, school districts and Ombudsman have options as they all work toward a common goal—high school graduation.
Diploma Options
The goal is for students to earn a diploma from their school district. In some cases, with the school district’s approval, students may earn a diploma from Ombudsman’s accredited alternative education program. Either way, students have an accredited diploma they can present when enrolling in a community college, trade school, technical program or university, enlisting in the military or applying for a job.
Credit Recovery Program
Some students transfer their earned credits and return to their home school district before graduation. Middle and high school students can recover credits that they have lost because of school transfers, failed classes, truancy, skill deficiency, suspension or expulsion. Ombudsman’s credit recovery program allows students to catch up if they’ve fallen behind.
Graduation Success
Ombudsman helps students accomplish their academic goals because we believe that every student can learn, with the right instruction in the right environment. One-hundred percent of Ombudsman students are at risk when they enroll in our learning centers. Nearly all of them – 85 percent – graduate, earn credits or return to their district school closer to or at grade level.
