Almost 5,000 students dropped out of high schools in the four-county region last year, according to statistics released by the state Tuesday. This map shows the high school dropout rate over the last four years at every high school with more than 150 students. Schools with a lot of kids in poverty had the highest dropout rates. Notice how many Alternative/Continuation schools have extremely high dropout rates, and often sit next to schools with low dropout rates. Critics sometimes contend many high schools foist likely dropouts onto these schools.
