Abstract:

Too many students in the state are dropping out of school, placing North Carolina among the lowest states in that category. Stallings' discussion of the dropout problem includes how North Carolina tracks and measures dropout rates; which students drop out and why; and what the state and local school districts are doing to reduce the dropout rate. The article concludes with six recommendations for improving the state's dropout problem.
