"Florida is a leader...in High School Drop out rates. Nearly 1 in 4 Florida High School students do not graduate.

You can read Florida's graduation rate report here. It shows that the state's graduation rate has climbed since 2003. How can our children compete in a global economy if they can't even graduate high school? 1 in 4 (25%). This is an appalling statistic that we should not stand for.

A big report released in Washington shows just how bad Florida's high-school dropout problem is.

The report, Left Behind in America: The Nation's Dropout Crisis says about 424,000 Florida youth aged 16 to 24 were high-school dropouts in 2007.

That means 20 percent of the people in that age group were dropouts. Nationally, 16 percent of 16- to 24-year-olds were dropouts.

Among the other key findings for Florida:

-- 62 percent of these drop outs were male.

-- 22 percent were black.

-- 29 percent were Hispanic.

The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) released graduation and dropout

rates for Florida and the 67 individual Florida school districts.

An examination of the data for Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) revealed an increase of 3.8 percentage points in the NGA graduation rate from 73.9 percent in 2008-09 to 77.7 percent in 2009-10. However, BCPS' dropout rate dropped slightly from 2.1 percent in 2008-09 to 1.6 percent in 2009-10. Please note that graduation and drop-out rates are calculated independently. While graduation rates are determined by a four-year cohort of students, dropout rates are determined based on a single year's enrollment in grades 9-12.
