Leaving Boys Behind: Public High School Graduation Rates Centert for Civic Innovation"
Jay Greene is back with an update to the offensive state of graduation in our public schools. You knew it was bad.

For 2003, only 49% of African-American males and 48% of Hispanic males graduated.

This study only brings the news, not the reasons. It's been noted elsewhere, however, that most don't leave because they can't do the work; nor becuse they simply must support a family.
