Members of historically disadvantaged minority groups make up a disproportionate share of dropouts. Black and Latino students, for example, together account for 52 percent of nongraduates but only 40 percent of the high school population. 5,132 4,815 SOURCE: EPE Research Center, 2013 Estimated Number of Recoverable Youths, 2011 10,681 10,392 9,303 7,698 6,837 6,075 5,625 3,982 3,639 3,502 3,119 2,961 2,811 2,744 1,538 1,387 1,193 1,100 Other, Two or More Races 2% Native American 1% Asian 2% White 39% Latino 36% Black 20% 19,204 24,560 21,491 15,815 12,923 16,208 14,302 13,483 12,772 9,037 3,824 7,293 2,676 4,289 4,944 4,415 5,977 7,528 5,382 2,759 4,221 2,604 1,514 Percent of recoverable youths by race and ethnicity Native Americans, Blacks, and Latinos Are Overrepresented Among Recoverable Youths An analysis of data from the 2011 American Community Survey estimates the size of the 16- to 21-year-old population at 27.1 million. “Recoverable” youths —those who are not enrolled in school and have not completed a high school education—make up 6.5 percent of this age group, or nearly 1.8 million individuals. Similar to the pattern observed for nongraduates, Native American, Latino, and black youths are disproportionately represented among young adults who are out of school without a diploma or other high school credential. http://www.edweek.org/go/dc13
