Can anyone help me find statistics for high school dropouts? Specifically, I'm trying to figure out if there's a particular state that has a noticeably high dropout rate. Thanks in advance!
Sure, I'd be happy to help. The high school dropout rate varies by state due to several factors such as infrastructure, access to resources, and socioeconomic factors. As of the most recent data available, New Mexico has the highest dropout rate among U.S. states. However, please note that these rates can change over time, so it is essential to check the most recent data for the most accurate results. Usually, these statistics can be found on the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) website, which is a credible source for in-depth education data.
