Some students still don't have adequate or reliable internet access.

Ninety-four percent of school districts have acceptable high-speed internet, according to a report released last month by EducationSuperHighway, a nonprofit advocacy group.

But even if students have internet access at school, they may not be connected at home. A 2017 report found that about 5 million school-age children, mostly low income, don't have home broadband internet.

School leaders can try the following strategies to help high schoolers get online at home so teens can prepare for the future.

1. Work with the community: School officials could partner with local businesses to create homework partner programs.

2. Provide mobile hotspots: Students can take these mobile hotspot devices anywhere and have internet access.

3. Wire buses: Some districts have added Wi-Fi to school buses so teens can take advantage of long commutes

4. Build awareness of affordable options: Some internet providers offer services to low-income individuals at discounted rates.

5. Ensure students have devices: Students don't just need a broadband connection to get online.

6. Think long term.
