64% of foster youth graduating high school is far far higher than I thought it would be. I’m beyond delighted by this. And if that 64% has free access to post-secondary… that’s a cycle breaking opportunity.

I wonder how many non-foster kids graduate high school?

>>hotpot+48
In California it’s ~85% of high school students graduate on average across all demographics

Every time I see these numbers I'm shocked at how it's not >98%.

The kids who don't graduate basically have just stopped showing up.

If you attend school and turn in your assignments, regardless of how poorly you do, you will graduate from a modern US highschool.
