Boostup.org is a chance -- for high school students to get to graduation. boostup has been helping to decrease dropout rates by encouraging people to support students in their community. Because one out of every three high school students in America isn't graduating -- in fact, every school day 7,000 students are dropping out. That's 1/3 of all public high school students and almost 1/2 of all African American, Hispanic and Native American teens.
With the drop out rate in the U.S. at such high levels, it's time to understand why. The process of leaving school isn't simply a decision based on one isolated factor, but rather a combination of several different reasons at once; these are the top ones cited.
Can you guess what the national drop out rate looks like in America?
