New Study Confirms Residential Treatment Centers for Teens Can Dramatically Improve Academic and Personal Achievement
Diamond Ranch Academy's Safety and Academic Standards Benefit Teens
(firmenpresse) - HURRICANE, UT -- (Marketwired) -- 04/12/16 -- A first-of-its kind study released in March 2016 confirms the link between significant improvements in key measures of a school''s climate to academic gains. The , titled "School Organizational Contexts, Teacher Turnover, and Student Achievement," found that an increase in school safety and academic expectations corresponds to increases in student achievement.
Schools that focus on a safe and structured experience may produce the equivalent of an extra month and a half of math instruction. Residential treatment centers for teens like show how dramatically upgrading a student''s public school setting -- from one that may have the presence of bullying, drugs and alcohol, and un-motivating teachers -- leads to more opportunities for academic and personal development.
"This study confirmed our philosophy at Diamond Ranch Academy, which is that an intimate, secure, and protected setting empowers students to live healthier and more positive lives while improving their capacity to learn," says Diamond Ranch Academy Executive Director Ricky Dias. "By focusing on academics and safety while also allowing students to explore a variety of personal interests, Diamond Ranch Academy helps students feel more confident and prepared for family and college life than ever before."
The 2016 study also found a correlation between a positive school climate and a reduction in teacher turnover, as strong academic and safety expectations decreased turnover by 25 percent. The study cites research that high rates of teacher turnover negatively impacts student achievement, as staff coordination is damaged, and less experienced replacement teachers are less effective for students.
"Our school is also living proof of how a positive school climate helps retain the best teachers to help troubled teens," Dias continues. "Most of our staff members have been with us for years and continue to have the same passion for helping teens in need succeed."
