<span style="font-size:12px;">High school graduates earn higher annual incomes, commit fewer crimes, and have lower rates of substance abuse than those without a high school diploma. Yet, a student is lost from the graduation pipeline every 13 seconds of the school year. The result is a public high schoool graduation rate of 70.6 percent for the class of 2005, according to the EPE Research Center’s <a href="http://enews.edweek.org/GoNow/a15864a180225a444091909a38"><em>Diplomas Count 2008</em></a>. Additionally, graduation rates vary widely by state, with New Jersey on the high end at 83.3 percent and Nevada at the low end at 45.4 percent, a difference of 38 percentage points.
