Over the last decade, between 347,000 and 544,000 10th- |
|
through 12th-grade students left school each year without |
|
successfully completing a high school program Status |
|
dropout rates represent the proportion of young people |
|
ages 16 through 24 who are out of school and who have not |
|
earned a high school credential. Status rates are higher |
|
than event rates because they include all dropouts in |
|
this age range, regardless of when they last attended |
|
school. (NCES, 2002). The purpose of this article is to |
|
examine the reasons why students drop out and possible |
|
solutions. Findings suggest that students from career |
|
academies have higher academic achievement upon leaving |
|
high school, less need for remediation in English at the |
|
university, and a 4 percentage-point increase in |
|
graduation from the university than students who are not |
|
from academies (Naylor, 2004). |
