Despite a decades-old assumption that Minnesota is a national leader in education, young people in Minnesota are often up against many systemic barriers as they pursue graduation. These barriers disproportionately affect low-income students and students of color. Nearly 1 in 5 Minnesota high school students did not graduate on time in 2018. High School graduation is a milestone that ALL students deserve to achieve and is critical in setting young people up for successful futures. ALL students have great potential, but some become academically or socially disengaged due to a system that does not fully support them. As these young people become increasingly disconnected from their schools and communities, their risk of dropping out increases.
