PARENTING PROBLEMS?

The 2012 High School Dropouts in America survey found that parents were the greatest cause of high school dropouts. An astounding 23 percent of dropouts identifiedthe lack of parental supportfor the reason they droppedout, while 21 percent citedbecoming a parent as thereason they didn’t complete high school.


AMOUNT OF INCOME

The U.S. Department ofEducation reported in 2011that a high school graduatecould expect to make$27,380 in average annual income. A high school dropout should expect much less, averaging only $19,540annually in income—adifference of $7,840 annually.


GOING TO COLLEGE

While a high school dropout can only expectto earn an average of$19,540 annually, acollege graduate with abachelor’s degree can expect to earn almost$46,930, two and one half times more per year in income.


EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK

The years after the recession have hit high school dropouts significantly harder than those with higher levels of education. According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, high school dropouts suffer from 14.9 percent unemployment, whereas less than 10 percent of high school graduates and 4.3 percent of college graduates are unemployed.


GIRL POWER

Among all races and ethnicities, girls graduated at a higher rate (75 percent) than boys (68 percent).



SOCIETAL IMPACT

Having amore educated population benefits society by increasing thelikelihood of attractingbusiness investment and decreasing the amount ofmoney that needs to bespent on social services. High school graduatesare also less likely tocommit crimes and rely on government support.

MINORITY STUDENTS SUFFER THE MOST

Forty-two percent ofHispanic students and 43percent of African American students will not graduate high school on time, according to an Alliance for Excellent Education report. Theserates are roughly twice ashigh as Asian (17 percent)and white Americans (22percent).


HOW THE U. S. COMPARES

In 1970, the United States had the highest rate of high school graduation. Today we are 21st in the world. Over the past 30 years, therehas been no increase in the percentage of U.S. adultswho have received a collegedegree (42 percent), despiteevery other OECD nation (with the exception ofGermany) experiencing an increase.


TRUE OR FALSE

The career interests of students have changed over the past five years.

ALL 16 CLUSTERS IN EVERY SCHOOL?

Local districts choose which career clusters to implement based on the needs of the students, community, and local economy.

sample of each career cluster and enhance their opportunities for high-demand, high-skill, or high-wage occupations.


MINIMUM REQUIREMENT

TAC§74.3 Description of a Required Secondary Curriculum states that a district must provide career and technical education courses selected from at least three of the eight (sixteen) career and technical areas (clusters) taught on a campus in the school district with provisions for contracting for additional offerings with programs or institutions as may be practical.
