Summarize this article for a 10 year old
An at-risk student is a term used in the United States to describe a student who requires temporary or ongoing intervention in order to succeed academically.[1] At risk students, sometimes referred to as at-risk youth or at-promise youth,[2] are also adolescents who are less likely to transition successfully into adulthood and achieve economic self-sufficiency.[3] Characteristics of at-risk students include emotional or behavioral problems, truancy, low academic performance, showing a lack of interest for academics, and expressing a disconnection from the school environment.[1] A school's effort to at-risk students is essential. For example, a study showed that 80% to 87% of variables that led to a school's retention are predictable with linear modeling.[4] In January 2020, Governor Newsom of California changed all references to "at-risk" to "at-promise" in the California Penal Codes.[5]
