What if corporate America did more to raise the high school graduation rate?
“There still aren’t enough students graduating from high school. Even though this crucial completion figure hit 84 percent in 2016, up from 71 percent in 2001, the nation is off pace when it comes to reaching a graduation rate of 90 percent by 2020. The speed of progress needs to double, particularly in states that made significant progress in the early days of the GradNation campaign but have since stalled.”
