Help for Parents and Students on Dropout Prevention
One in four students drop out of school. Why?
The good news: The nation’s high school graduation rate is at its highest point since the 1970s ― almost 75% will graduate from high school. The bad news: Each year more than 25% of students (about 1 million young people) drop out of school. From Diplomas Count 2013, a report by Education Week The U.S. Department of Education’s annual report prepared by the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), The Condition of Education 2013, presents statistics that show some encouraging trends in American high-school graduation rates. However, there are still substantial gaps along lines of ethnicity, income, and gender. This report also shows that, as in previous years, annual median earnings in 2011 were higher for those with higher levels of education — for example, 25- to 34-year-olds with a college degree earned over twice as much as high school dropouts. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s report, Education at a Glance 2013, the United States ranks 22nd in high school graduation rates for young people under age 25 ― behind Slovenia, Finland, Japan, Korea, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Iceland, Hungary, Canada, Israel, Slovak Republic, Poland, Chile, Italy, and the Czech Republic. Young people who don’t complete high school face many more problems in later life than do people who graduate. While there has been some improvement, the dropout rate remains high. In 2005,a report from the Educational Testing Service, One-Third of a Nation: Rising Dropout Rates and Declining Opportunities, warned about rising dropout rates and their effect on American society. Many of its findings still need to be addressed, such as:
