“Dropout rates increased for all subgroups except Hispanic students:

* Asian 3.2%
* Native American 7.0%
* African American 7.4%
* Hispanic 7.9%
* White 3.6%
* Total 4.4%

Even with the increases in the Oregon’s dropout rate, it continues to be significantly lower than the very high dropout rates of the mid-1990’s. A decade ago, the statewide dropout rate stood at 7%, and the Hispanic rate was about 18%. The African American rate was nearly 12% and the Native American rate about 10%.”*
