“At 24 percent statewide for all student groups, our high schools are losing one-fourth of their students. It isn’t the fact that Texas attrition went down to 24 this year that's important; it's the fact that the number never goes below 24 percent,” said Dr. María “Cuca” Robledo Montecel, IDRA president and CEO. “Also, 29 percent is high for any student group, but especially for the largest group in the state – Hispanic students. We need to do more than try harder or tweak. Texas has to be serious about investing and being strategic. Since this problem is systemic, the solutions must be as well.”
