There are many great online resources that address dropout prevention. 
Some sites speak to the reasons why students dropout while others discuss solutions
to this nationwide issue. 
Visit the links below if you wish to learn more. 
 
If you would like to help reduce the number of students who dropout in Pamlico County, please contact us.  No matter what your background or current situation, there is a way you can help.  It is by working together as a community that we can help ensure that every student in our county graduates
with a high school diploma. 
 
A lengthy but very informative report that interviewed high school dropouts about their reasons for leaving school.  Contains some surprising information.  The study was sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. 
 
A detailed report compiled by the Census Bureau that addresses the differences in earning potential based on type of degree earned.
 
A great resource for effective strategies for reducing dropout rates.
