Facts about poverty

Dropout rates of 16 to 24-years-old

students who come from low income

families are seven times more likely
to drop out than those from families
with higher income.
The nations lowest-performing high
schools produce 58%of all AfricanAmerican dropouts and 50% of all
Hispanic dropouts, compared to 22%
of all white dropouts.

W ay to fi
ght poverty
The way people would fight poverty

is to get big help from the

government. The government should
punish those who dropout of high
schools. Also give extra help to those
who cant afford college so it could
stop them from not going to college
and help them get good jobs.
