Dropout Rates Among Low Income Areas

Abstract

"What programs can be implemented to improve the dropout rate among students in low-income areas? The number of kids dropping out of high school is decreasing every year, but we can do more to keep the numbers going down. Society is failing to realize that every child is different and dealing with factors outside of school, some more than others. This is especially true in low- income areas. Some students don’t have access to the same resources provided to them as other students."
