WASHINGTON, 4 de mayo de 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Desde 2001, 2.8 millones más de estudiantes se graduaron de la escuela secundaria en lugar de abandonar sus estudios. En una economía que valora los logros educativos más que nunca, estas tasas en ascenso crearon beneficios enormes para las personas, las comunidades y todo nuestro país.

Since 2001, 2.8 million more students have graduated from high school rather than dropping out. In an economy that prizes educational attainment more than ever before, these rising rates have created enormous benefits for individuals, communities and our entire nation. But even now with the current national graduation rate at 83.2 percent, it is becoming more evident that the nation will be unable to meet its high school graduation rate goal without intensifying efforts to reach the students who have faced the greatest challenges. The country remains off-pace to reaching its goal for the second year in a row.
