Students from the lowest income families had a 7.2% dropout rate compared to 3.9% for highest income families. The \u201cadjusted cohort graduation rate\u201d for 2015-16 was 84% which showed steady improvement over the past five years.\u00a0 The main problem is the significant differences in graduate rates across race, economic status, states, and disabilities.\u00a0 For example, graduation rates for white students ranged from 76% in New Mexico to 94% in New Jersey; black students from 57% in Nevada to 88% in West Virginia; Hispanic students from 65% in Minnesota to 89 % in Vermont.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Citation<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>McFarland, J., Cui, J., Rathbun, A., and Holmes, J.
