“By 1982, 50 percent of high school graduates went to college immediately after graduation…” (Ravitch, 2000, p. 410) Comments: However, “large numbers of students who entered college did not finish; between 1984 and 1987, nearly half of white students and two thirds of black students left college without earning a degree” (Ravitch, 2000, p. 410).
