Highschool Graduations Rises In the U.S

The Graduations rates in the United States have been rising.The Graduation rate increased to "75 percent [from] 72 percent". This has caused the dropouts to decrease as well, "the percent of students [who] don't graduate on time fell from 2,007 in 2002 to 1,1550 in 2010".Drop outs in high school, however are still a big matter. They still affect the United States economy in a negative way. Researchers also found that graduation rate vary in races, with "91.8 percent of Asian Americans, 82 percent of Whites,65.9 of Hispanics and 63.5 of blacks graduating on time. However some areas in the U.S are still not seeing any improvements on the graduations rates and drop out rates, so teachers have came up with a strategy to work more with those group of kids who are most likely to drop out. On average, "high school graduates earn $130,000 more over their life times,compared with peers who drop out of high school, according to a study. And also, a study shows that "transforming just one student to a high school graduate will yield more than $200,000 in higher tax revenue and savings for the government".
