Sacramento Bee: Almost one in four Sacramento County high school students drop out
before getting their diploma, according to a new state report.
The rate is even higher among African American high school students – more than one in three in Sacramento County schools drop out.
In suburban Placer and El Dorado counties, about one in nine high school students become dropouts; in Yolo County, it's one in six.
Those figures were part of statewide release Tuesday covering the 2009 school year – the third year the state has collected student-level data, but the first it used a new system called CALPADS.
