Student mobility is the constant flow of students enrolling in and transferring out of a school or district throughout the school year. The impact of high student mobility has long plagued the Chelsea Public School District and other school districts like it. Throughout the time of the Boston University/Chelsea Partnership, university and district leadership came to recognize the high mobility rate of Chelsea’s students as a problem. However, not until the district was held accountable under the 2002 Federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation was student mobility brought to the fore as a formidable contributor to the low academic achievement of Chelsea’s students.
