Executive Summary
Research shows that high school dropout rates are on the rise and many factors contribute to this social problem. This rise impacts the communities since research shows that when dropout rates rises, so does unemployment and crime. Data shows that low socioeconomic, low parental involvement, and poor support from administrators and educators are among the most important factors that contribute the rise to high school dropout rates. Classrooms are overcrowded and that leaves students without the proper attention from teachers, which leads to students that cannot understand the curriculum to fall behind. A great percentage of students get discouraged and leave school before graduation.
In order for students to get attention that is required for them to stay in school and graduate, parents need to become involved in their children’s education and demand personal attention from educators which is required to help students stay in school. Administrators, counselors, and community leaders need to come together and involved to target at-risk students so that they can graduate from High school. Research has shown that there is still much work to be done in order to decrease the drop-out rates in the United States and the responsibility does not fall on only one factor, but it falls on society as a whole.
