Overall, far too many students are not graduating on time with a regular diploma; low-income and students of color fare the worst in the dropout epidemic.Each year, approximately 1.3 million students fail to graduate from high school; more than half are students of color. The graduation rate among students of color is as
much as twenty-five percentage points below their white peers. A student within the age range of sixteen to twenty-four years old who comes from the lowest quartile of family income is about seven times more likely
to have dropped out of high school than his/her counterpart who comes from the highest quartile.
