Homeless students tend to graduate from high school at lower rates than their peers. In some states, the difference between the average graduation rate and the rate among students identified as homeless is more than 20 percentage points.
Bar charts compare the graduation rates of homeless high school students to the average in their state. The rate of graduation among homeless youth was lowest in Washington, D.C. and Minnesota. States like Texas and Nevada show a more narrow gap between graduation rates among homeless youth as compared to their state averages.
