• Most people don’t

really know their

neighbors as much

as they’d like too,

and sometimes

even should.

High school dropout

• Growing up in a

poor neighborhood

significantly

reduces the chances

that a child will

graduate from high

school(Arbor).

• One of the most

common reasons

why there are high

school dropouts is

because the kids

grow up in an

unsafe

neighborhood.

• Children are

dropping out of

high school

because they are

failing to receive

the necessities they

need for school
