high school dropout fast facts

*This is the only article that I found that gave me statistics in, not only words, but in tables too, http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=16. The 'institute of education sciences' and the national center for education statistics are the people that created this blog. All the other articles I read, the people who made them, focused on one statistic, but with this article they focus on all sorts of statistics, like the percentage of dropouts for whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native.

*Not only did they put the statistics of one year, but from 1980-2009.

*I appreciate this website because they don't have opinions in it, it’s purely fact. This website tells people where to find related tables and graphs, and where to find other sources for high school dropouts. This website explained so much for me, and I think it will explain a lot for you.

*this article is a good source because it was published by the government so the information is probably relevant. This article also doesn't have bias or slant.
At the very beginning of the article it asks a question, What are the dropout rates of high school students?, and just doing that wanted me to know the answer and want to read it. I like this website, and I think you will too.
