Dropout Rates

In some areas of California the high school dropout rates go down so that about 20% of students on average dropout and in the worse areas of California there was a dropout rate as high as 38.4%. The reason that dropout rates get so high is because often the students drop out is because often the students have no reason to stay. If there was school funding that could make incentive to stay in school such as after school activities like sports and clubs that students enjoy, then the dropout rate would lower in high schools. When there is no sports or clubs that they enjoy, if they don’t enjoy the school itself then the student has a higher possibility to dropout. Therefore when schools aren’t funded students dropout causing the dropout rates in California to hit them harder than before.
