This graph compares the recently reported success rate of our high school graduates in going on to college and careers versus the much lower rate of success when we consider ALL of the students who entered high school with each graduating class.
Clearly, a lot of kids are being left behind once we consider EVERYONE.

Statewide Real Transition to Adult Life
Lots of kids get left behind after graduation in Jefferson County
WAVE-3 TV reports that thousands of Jefferson County students are graduated from high school in 2010 and headed on to other life pursuits such as higher education or the workforce.
What WAVE-3 missed is the fact that new data from the Kentucky Department of Education shows that a chunk of last year’s Jefferson County graduates reported they didn’t head anywhere after high school – not to college, not to the military, not to tech school, not to the workforce.
And, we don’t know for sure what happened to additional thousands of Jefferson County students who simply dropped out before getting a high school diploma, but it’s a good bet most of them are in even more dire straights.
