The potential economic impact of increasing our state’s four-year high school graduation rate is significant.
On average, high school graduates earn $8,000 more annually compared to those who don’t finish high school. These young adults are far less likely to worry about unemployment, relying on government assistance, or ever step foot in our prison system.
High School Graduation Rate is defined as the percentage of people who graduate from high school in 4 years.
NOTE: 0% indicates that data is not available due to small sample size or other quality concerns.
