Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if academic intensive care units along with no-zero grading policies at the high school level result in students having higher achievement levels on state EOC assessments. A mixed-methods approach was taken in order to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data from surveys and interviews. Additional quantitative data were analyzed from archival data. Two separate schools were chosen for the populations. High School A implemented academic intensive care units and no-zero grading polices while High School B did not. Participants in the study consisted of both teachers and students at High School A and High School B. Although a conclusion was made indicating academic intensive care units along with no-zero grading policies at the high school level do not result in students having higher achievement on state EOC assessments, further research is needed.
