JMG <strong>is</strong> '5 for 5'<br />
Jobs for <strong>Montana</strong>'s Graduates (JMG) yesterday<br />
announced they have achieved "5 for 5" status in performance<br />
outcomes. JMG began in 1990 as a solution to the dropout<br />
rates experienced in <strong>Montana</strong>'s high schools.<br />
Today, JMG supports a network of 41 programs offering<br />
794 students the potential for future career development by<br />
focusing on staying in school and finding a career path suited<br />
to their interests and abilities. Jobs for America's Graduates<br />
(JAG), serving 28 states, establ<strong>is</strong>hed five performance<br />
outcomes for students enrolled in the program. Some of the<br />
standards include graduation rate, positive outcomes of<br />
transitioning to work, post secondary, or military, and full<br />
time job placements.<br />
In school year 2004-2005, JMG hosted 579 students in<br />
39 schools and had an overall graduation success rate of 96.14<br />
percent. The remaining balance - 215 students - were<br />
enrolled in the Yellowstone Youth Academy and the <strong>Montana</strong><br />
Youth ChalleNGe. Native Americans enter the program with<br />
more than five barriers to success including: excessive<br />
absences, inadequate or no work experience, residing in<br />
economically d<strong>is</strong>advantaged conditions, low academic<br />
performance, and lacking marketable occupational skills. 12<br />
of the 41 programs offered are located on or border six of<br />
<strong>Montana</strong>'s Indian reservations and serve 133 Native youth.<br />
The graduation rate for Indian students surpassed the overall<br />
state, by bringing in a perfect score of 100 percent. To learn<br />

Unfortunately, another news story <strong>is</strong> not so good. Nearly<br />
25 percent of <strong>Montana</strong>'s students do not earn a high school<br />
diploma, according to a report released Tuesday by the<br />
Editorial Projects in Education Research Center. <strong>Montana</strong>'s<br />
overall graduation rate was 76 percent in 2002-2003, the most<br />
recent school year for which data was available, ranking the<br />
state 15th in the country. Nationally, 70 percent of students<br />
graduated that year. Office of Public Instruction officials<br />
d<strong>is</strong>puted the report, claiming an 84 percent state graduation<br />
rate in 2002-03.<br />
The bottom line <strong>is</strong> that neither rate <strong>is</strong> acceptable; we<br />
should be working toward 100% graduation.<br />
