Hola Aries,
Por estos rumbos (California, EEUU) los llaman "estudiantes en riesgo" a secas. Pero creo que es importante aclarar de qué se trata dicho riesgo.

En muchos otros casos se les clasifica \"borderline\" a los estudiantes que apenas cumplen los requisitos básicos de admisión al college o universidad, es decir que no tienen altos promedios de calificaciones ni muchas otras ventajas en comparación a sus compañeros más adelantados académicamente.

\"Most college applications require a biographical information sheet, a high school transcript, an essay, and two or three recommendation letters. Once an application is received, the admissions officer or committee makes a determination based on a list of preselected factors. A typical college application process goes from the application to the development of an academic profile, personal profile, and a supporting document profile. These determine a student\'s college acceptance. The Academic Profile
A typical academic profile provides an admission\'s officer with basic information regarding the past academic performance of students. It usually consists of a student\'s SAT or ACT scores, class rank, course transcript, and grades. Admissions officers also give consideration to any supporting material a student provides. They may look at the high school a student attended and make a judgment on the grades the student made based on the school\'s profile. Some high schools have a better reputation for producing college caliber students. ***A borderline student*** from one of these schools generally rates higher than a **borderline student** from a school with a lower rated profile. ...\"

\"Use assessments that measure student success in different ways. Students must be given the opportunity to demonstrate their success in a variety of ways. Standardized tests cannot be the only measure of achievement. Portfolio and performance assessments are examples of other types of assessment that can provide educators with a more accurate picture of student learning. In addition, there should be continuity of assessment methods from grade to grade, and from teacher to teacher.
* Encourage parent involvement. The positive effect parent involvement has upon student achievement can not be disputed. ***Parent involvement can make a critical difference for a borderline student***. There are many ways parents can be involved with their child\'s education, and it is important that schools help them discover what type of involvement might best benefit their child (Epstein, 1996; Jimerson et al., 1997).
* Vary instructional approaches. Offering children different ways of learning is critical in addressing unique learning styles and needs. Individualized instruction, mixed-age classes, creative grouping, reduced class size, scheduling modifications, and the use of volunteer aides are just a few strategies that can provide instructional variety (Robertson, 1997). ...\"
