Factors Contributing to the High School Drop Out Rate

I remember taking my first transcript of my ninth grade. When you look at the bottom, the number of students in the class is always displayed. I clearly remember that this number is 729. The number between my second grade and middle school students is suddenly increasing. Before I learned about it I participated in the graduation campus internship, but my principle announced how many students will graduate. This number is about 520, I am very shocked. Just as we reach the 520 students who graduated from high school in that year from the first day 729 students, the problem seems to be embarrassing to my head.

Factors contributing to the dropout rate of high school students Family's unity and background This is one of the main reasons for students to drop out of school. Students from families with violence, family abuse, or poor relations with parents are more likely to have dropped out of school than stable students.

Puberty pregnancy and child rearing have a big influence on the high school dropout rate for girls in adolescence. 30% of the girls who dropped out of high school think that it is mainly pregnancy or childbirth. The proportion of Hispanic and African American teenagers is even higher, approaching 40%. About half of the women who gave birth at 20 to 29 years of age had high school diplomas, but only 90% of women aged 20 to 29 did not give birth. Approximately 40% of babies born before high school students aged 18 and 30, and college graduation rates less than 2%.

Poverty is an important element for dropping out of school. The socioeconomic composition of the school is reflected in the dropout rate (Steinberg, Blinde, & Chan, 198 'Students reported that they dropped out due to job opportunities or economic difficulties (Rumberger, 1983). The opposition of the teacher is a factor of Hispanic student's dropout.The student's retention rate which leads to excessive student correlates very closely with the possibility that the student can not finish learning. 1990) A cohort study on dropouts in Dade County, Florida showed that one-third of the cohort is out of phase, that is, 46% of this different phase cohort was Hispanics and 42.3%. African-Americans, 25.5% are European Americans, and in the case of contemporaneous students, the dropout rates of the three ethnic groups are about the same.
