Most parents, educators, and even students dream of graduating from high school. The key emphasis is ‘most.’ This is shown through the significant increase of high school completion rates over the past years. Despite this increase, not all students succeed in graduating high school. These students often elect to drop out of school instead of complete their education. In fact, these numbers are shown in state, national, and global statistics.
In contrast, some schools have a higher drop out rate than other schools in the area. For instance, a rural school may experience a higher drop out rate than a city school. This demonstrates the need for specialization in terms of drop out rates in schools. This means that specific schools need to be measured to determine the difference in drop out rates, not the entire area as a whole. Despite the general studies available to measure drop out rates in specific areas, there are few focusing on specific schools. As a result, the purpose of this study is to focus on the local Arizona high school. The study seeks to show the drop out rate statistics, as well as the reasons provided by students for dropping out. It is hopeful that this information will allow interested parties to encourage all students to remain in school, as well as address any issues expressed by former students. It is also expected that this information will allow current students to express any concerns they may have regarding their education, as well as provide ways to overcome these issues.
