1 in 10 U.S. high schools is a ‘dropout factory’
Story here quote: WASHINGTON - It’s a nickname no principal could be proud of: “Dropout factory,” a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That description fits more than one in 10 high schools across America.

Story here quote: Utah, which has low poverty rates and fewer minorities than most states, is the only state without a "dropout factory."

The obvious question....Are most drop-outs come from minorities? If so, what can be done to fix it.

quote: The highest concentration of dropout factories is in large cities or high-poverty rural areas in the South and Southwest. Most have high proportions of minority students. These schools are tougher to turn around because their students face challenges well beyond the academic ones — the need to work as well as go to school, for example, or a need for social services.

Only 1 in 10? With the arrogance and severely depleted intellect exhibited by today's youth, I figured only 1 in 10 student bodies would actually be worth a damn.

School systems are not set up to keep kids interested, and thus, many kids are basically "pushed" out. Not to mention that, for the sake of the class and the content + beurecratic authority, much individual and assertive learning is not only frowned upon, but reprimanded.
