| In 2006 alone, 1.2 million teenagers in the United States did not graduate on time from high school -- that's 30 percent of the class of 2006. The number increases to an astonishing 50 percent among some minorities. According to a survey by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 88 percent of those surveyed (ages 16 to 25 in 25 urban, rural and suburban communities nationwide) had passing grades when they dropped out of school, and 91 percent of those dropouts said they knew that graduating was vital to their future success.
According to the Harris Alumni Survey, some 28 percent report they would have dropped out of high school if not for the Club, plus another 51 percent achieved a higher level of education than they thought possible because of attending the Club. |
