Across United States public schools, just 74.9 percent of students who were freshmen in the fall of 2004 graduated from high school on time in 2008, according to a report from the National Center for Education Statistics. There's a huge amount of variation though, depending on where the students live. The New York Times has created an interactive chart of graduation rates by state and race. |
