In several of the largest school systems across the country -- from Baltimore to Cleveland to Atlanta and Oakland, Calif. -- half of the students are dropping out.

It is estimated that about 2,500 students drop out of U.S. high schools every day.

Punch line!!! Typically high school dropouts earn $19,000 a year. High school graduates earn $28,000 a year on average.
