Five of every 100 young adults enrolled in high school in October 1995 left school before October of 1996 without completing a high school program. A larger percentage of Hispanic students, compared with Whites, leave school short of completing a high school program. In addition, Hispanic young adults without a high school credential have completed less schooling than Black and White dropouts. Some young people re-enroll or complete high school credentials through alternative routes. These changes hold true throughout the country.
