Dropout Rates

Stats on high school graduation are alarming

According to a report released last year by America’s Promise Alliance—a group headed by Gen. Colin Powell and dedicated to keeping kids in school—only about 69.9 percent of high school students graduate.

Native Americans have the lowest graduation rate. Just 49.3 percent of American Indian high school students graduate.

Only 53.4 percent of black students and 57.8 percent of Hispanics make it to graduation. White students graduate at a rate of 76.2 percent and Asian students lead with an 80.2 percent graduation rate.

These figures are alarming.
