Community Impact of Dropouts

An educated workforce is critical to improving the economic vitality and quality of life in Greenville County. Achieving that goal requires citizens with at least a high school education and the ability to pursue additional training and education.    

High school dropouts impose a high cost on our community:
 
  • lower income and economic growth and higher social and public service costs due to crime incarceration
  • drug & alcohol abuse
  • teen pregnancy
  • poverty
