    District Drop Rates

    By rpilk | January 11, 2009

    To my suprise there was very little information out there about drop out rates for elementary through middle school aged kids. I tried looking at PPS School District and also Gresham/ Barlow School Districts web pages online and found only statistics about high school drop rates. There has got to be something on this?

      http://blog.oregonlive.com/schoolsguide/ is a great link. You can look up any school and any district in oregon and find out lots of info– including a bit about dropout rates down to elementary school.

      I was not able to find any specific data on my school district on the link mentioned above, but “city-data.com” included subgroups of dropouts. Interestingly, the data I found on that website didn’t match the school distict’s website - district posting lower dropout rates - so I don’t know which set of data is more accurate.
