Promising Practices to Improve Latinas' Graduation Rates
October 14, 2009
Over 25 percent of girls are not graduating from high school in four years., yet those rates are worse for girls of color. 41 percent of Latinas do not graduate from high school in four years with their class - if they graduate at all. That 41 percent rate is higher than the rate for white males and females, for Asian Pacific Islander males and females, and it’s also higher than the national average for all students, including boys and girls. Almost half of Latinas ages 25 to 64 who don’t have their high school diploma, are unemployed.

I'm Lucy Flores
I am a first generation Mexican American. I am the youngest girl of 13 siblings. I was raised in poverty by my father, and growing up I didn't have much to strive for.
My mother left when I was nine years old. Every single one of my sisters-six of them-got pregnant when they were teenagers. I currently have two brothers who are in prison and lost two brothers as a result of drug and gang violence.
98 % of Latinas we surveyed want to finish high school.
41% of Latinas don't.
