OUR APPROACH

The High Cost of High School Dropouts: What the Nation Pays for Inadequate High Schools, Nov 2013

I think the new stat page from kevin had 1

dropover every 26 sec?

I also like the stat about prison – 75% of those in prison do not have a HS

diploma.

3,000,000 every year

8,300 every school day

1 every 26 seconds
