Consider that:
* More than 1.2 million students drop out every year. That translates to one dropout every 26 seconds.
* Of those who do graduate, only one out of four are prepared to handle college courses.
* Nearly 44 percent of dropouts under age 24 are jobless.
* Almost half (45 percent) of homeless Americans age 18-25 are dropouts.
