Dropping out of high school is related to a number of negative
outcomes. Among adults age 25 and older, a lower percentage of
dropouts are in the labor force than are adults who earned a high
school credential. Similarly, among adults in the labor force, a
higher percentage of dropouts are unemployed than are adults who
earned a high school credential. In addition, dropouts age 25 and
older reported being in worse health than adults who are not
dropouts, regardless of income. Dropouts also make up
disproportionately higher percentages of the nation's
institutionalised population. This book builds upon a series of
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports on high
school dropout and completion rates that began in 1988. It presents
estimates of rates in 2012, provides data about trends in dropout
and completion rates over the last four decades (19722012), and
examines the characteristics of high school dropouts and high
school completers in 2012. This book also discusses federal policy,
programs, and issues related to high school graduation, completion,
and dropouts. The discussion covers the provisions enacted in
federal law that govern the definition, calculation, and reporting
requirements of these critical high school outcomes. The book then
looks at historical data as well as the most recent indicators of
these outcomes. That analysis is followed by a description of the
federal programs designed to help youth who have dropped out, or
who are at risk of dropping out, in completing high school or an
equivalency certificate program. Finally, the book discusses issues
that may arise as Congress considers reauthorising the laws that
pertain to this topic.
