High School Status Dropout Rate by Gender
Source: Authors’ calculations based on NCES 2022, table 219.80.
Note: Data for 2020 were not reported by NCES. Status dropouts are sixteen- to twenty-four-year-olds who are not enrolled in school and who have not completed a high school program, regardless of when they left school and whether they ever attended school in the United States. People who have received equivalency credentials, such as the GED, are counted as high school completers. Data are based on sample surveys of the entire population residing within the United States, including both noninstitutionalized persons (such as those living in households, college housing, or military housing located within the United States) and institutionalized persons (such as those living in prisons, nursing facilities, or other health-care facilities).

Debt Amounts Held by Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Source: Authors’ calculations based on NCES 2023d.
Note: Error bars present 95 percent confidence intervals. 2004 denotes the 2003–2004 academic year, and so on. For undergraduate students, debt amount includes Parent PLUS loans. For graduate students, debt amount does not include Parent PLUS loans and includes Direct PLUS loans to graduate students. NPSAS did not report the debt amount among graduate students at for-profit institutions in 2004 because the standard error represents more than 50 percent of the estimate. Graduate students include those attending master’s, doctoral, and professional degree programs.
