The new data revealed high dropout rates for minority students: 41.3 percent of black students, 31.3 percent of Native Americans, 30.3 percent of Hispanics, and 27.9 percent of Pacific Islanders. White students had a 15.2 percent dropout rate, while Asians had a 10.2 percent rate.
“Twenty-four percent of students dropping out is not good news,” said Superintendent of Education Jack O’Connell. “In fact, any student dropping out is one too many and the data reveal a disturbingly high dropout rate for Latinos and African-Americans.” “*
