The nation’s high school graduation rate is the highest since 1976, but more than a fifth of students are still failing to get their diploma in four years, the Education Department said in a study released Tuesday. Officials said the steady rise of students completing their education is a reflection of the struggling economy and a greater competition for new jobs. “There’s no young person who aspires to be a high school dropout,”Education Secretary Arne Duncan said. “When someone drops out, it’s a symptom of a problem. It’s not the problem itself. Something has gone radically wrong.”
High school graduation rate highest since 1976, when gone missing at your senior prom was a radical problem.
