a little refresher

Of those students, only 32% know what classes are required in high school that would allow them to attend college.

93% of middle school students say there is “no chance

”

they will drop out of high school.

YET

…

.29% of Californians age 18-24 DO drop out!

When surveyed, the majority of high school dropouts say they began to “disconnect

”

in middle school or earlier.

Many youth have already limited their career aspirations by the time they reach middle school

…

largely due to sex stereotyped views of occupations.
