Only 25% of the US high school students complete any college degree. Among African American youth, only 18% earn a baccalaureate by age twenty-nine. For Hispanic Americans, the figure is a mere 10%. For reasons of intellectual and professional opportunity, economic efficiency, and social equity, the US must do a better job of preparing young people.
