• The Economic Imperative: A high school diploma is no longer enough; now, nearly every good job requires some education beyond high school and all students need to be academically prepared to compete for good jobs in the global economy.
• The Equity Imperative: Far too many students drop out or graduate from high school unprepared for success. Students in minority groups drop out and fail to attain postsecondary credentials at much higher rates than their counterparts.
• The Expectations Imperative: The bar has been set too low for too long, keeping students from reaching their full potential, closing doors and limiting their post-high school options and opportunities.

The Economic Imperative
In 1950, 60% of jobs were classified as unskilled, attainable by young people with high school diplomas or less. Today, 20% of jobs are considered to be unskilled.
One result: The demand for middle- and high-skilled workers is outpacing the state’s supply of workers educated and experienced at that level.

The vast majority of students intend to go on to college and do not expect to drop out of high school:
• 93 percent of middle school students report there is “no chance” they will drop out in high school.
• 94 percent of high school students say that they are planning to continue their education after high school either at a two- or four-year institution.
• 95 percent of teenagers report that graduating from high school is “critical to their future success.”
