Sure it's cathartic to hang an F on a student, but that doesn't help.  I
have found that students in the top 10% of their class tend to keep
working until the end.  At our high school, we have several designations
 placed on their diploma(high honors, honors etc) for top grade point.
Good students don't want to 'soil' their records.I have found the following
helps.
1.  Have a conference with student and tell him/her that you are calling
their parents.
2.  Call their parents.
3.  Follow up phone call with a letter.
4.  In a couple of weeks write another letter and inform the parent what
progress was/was not  made.
5.  Put copies of letters and what you did in their permanent record
Of course, if the parent doesn't give a diddly squat about achievement
the student probably will not.
