Analyzing the Longitudinal K-12 Grading Histories of Entire Cohorts of Students: Grades, Data Driven Decision Making, Dropping out and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis. (2010, background): “…2007), little criterion validity has been shown for test scores as they relate to overall student school or life outcomes (Rumberger & Palardy, 2005), whereas teacher-assigned grades have a long history of predicting overall student outcomes, such as graduating or dropping out (Bowers, 2010).”
Why Tenth Graders Fail to Finish High School: A Dropout Typology Latent Class Analysis (2012, background): “…out that students incur during grades 7 through 9, especially in the transition from grade 8 to grade 9 (Alexander, Entwisle, & Kabbani, 2001; Allensworth & Easton, 2007; Balfanz, Herzog, & MacIver, 2007; Bowers, 2010b; Cohen & Smerdon, 2009; Neild, 2009; Roderick & Camburn, 1999; Rumberger, 1995).”

(2012, result): “This is consistent with the findings of earlier longitudinal studies in which students’ prior course performance was a key indicator of high school performance and subsequent graduation (Bowers, 2010; Mac Iver, 2010).”
