Broken down by race, the estimated event dropout rates were 2.4% for Whites, 4.8%for African Americans, and 5.8% for Latinos. NCES did not find a significant difference in the2009 event dropout rates for males and females. In terms of age, older students (ages 20 through24) are at a greater dropout risk than students aged 15 through 17.A strong link exists between poverty and high school dropout rates.
