National Center of Education Statistics
The web site is a data resource from harvard law library. The website gives figures on all types of drop out rates. It gives the rates by age 15-24 in grades 10-12. It also shows results by family income and lifestyles. The Resources come from the united states and International, but the website also shows the positive aspect with graduation and completion rates. The website has so much information to take in, but the NCES provides at least 50 pages of scores from 2000 to 2009.
I like that you used drop out rates and stated that it also shows completion and graduation rates as well. I'm sure family income and lifestyle plays a role in the outcome of drop out, completion, and graduation rates.
ReplyDeleteThis site can be an invaluable tool for educators and parents alike. With such comprehensive statistics one can see different dropout rates according to state, which can be useful if deciding to move your family or teach there.
