Trends

The most recent Kid’s Count (Annie E. Casey Foundation) shows that in Virginia, from 1990 – 2000:

• the percent of children living with a household head who is a high school dropout has dropped from 21 % to 13%
• the percent of teens who are high school dropouts (16-19) has dropped from 11% to 9%

Yet, despite this downward trend, the percent of children living in low income families has increased from 17% to 20%. As our economy strengthened in the 1990’s, it would be expected that this figure would have decreased, given that high school dropout rates were falling.
