*This article, http://www.all4ed.org/files/GraduationRates_FactSheet.pdf, is good for looking for answers about high school dropouts.
*In order, the sections are, the introduction, 'who is dropping out?', 'where are students dropping out?', 'why do students dropping out?', 'what are the costs of dropping out?', and the end notes.
The introduction is all about how the high schools and districts published misleading and inaccurate dropout statistics. Also, that independent research has made clear how shockingly low the graduation rates are.
*I think this website is a good source to rely on because for each section there is a question, like for the first section, after the introduction, it is, 'who is dropping out?’ this section is about, u guessed it, who the people are that are dropping out. This section describes how barely half of the African Americans and Hispanics earn a diploma.
*In the second section, 'where are students dropping out?’ about 12% of American high school produce nearly half of the nations dropouts. It says that 80% of the high schools that produce the most dropouts can be found in subset of about 15 states.
*I think you get the jest of it. This is a very good site to use if u are looking for the where, what, where, when, why, and how. This website has no bias or slant, but if you want to look for a website for the more resent answers I would try to compare this website to others to see if it’s reliable, because this website was updated last in 2009. If I ever need to find information for high school dropouts, then I would go here.
