In the schools in
which the “I Have a Dream” Foundation
starts programs, history predicts that 60% - 70% of the students
will dropout before finishing high school.
Nation wide, “I Have a Dream”® projects
have successfully doubled the high school
graduation rate and sent 50% of the graduates on to college.
Without “I Have a Dream”®, only 6 out of every
100 of these students
would enter college. With “I Have a Dream”®, 36
out of every 100 students
has entered college. This is a stunning reversal of fortune
for these communities, bringing improved opportunity, prosperity,
and increased community participation. |
