Dropout rates have ticked up in some states. How big is the problem?

Experts caution against focusing too closely on the specific dropout rates themselves, which can lag years behind more reliable measures and are difficult to interpret.

Tell Trump it wasn't a good idea to shutter schools Jimmy. Drop out rates couldn't be up bc you are redirecting public school funds for your school choice could it?

Maybe you should talk to Trump then! By March 30, 2020, all but one US public school districts were closed, representing the first-ever nearly synchronous nationwide closure of public K-12 schools in the US. Biden took office on January 20th, 2021!

Which states, Jim? Would those states include Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio & Oklahoma? States with underfunded public schools, balooning poverty, skyrocketing teen pregnancy, and underpaid teachers? Those states? Is that where dropouts are happening, Jim?
