Main Causes of Student Failure

Many students who have difficulty succeeding in school have problems outside of school. Many students that do have to either work to support their families, have limited support from family, or their self-esteem is too low. Study finds almost 2,000 high schools across the U.S. graduate less than 60% of their students.

Every year, over 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone. That’s a student every 26 seconds – or 7,000 a day.
