This translates to roughly 281 students out of 2,107 quitting schools before completing their education.
Data shows that this is 5.1% higher than the statewide average dropout rate of 8.2% registered at the time.
California's 2024-25 budget allocates nearly $76.4 billion to K-12 schools, avoiding education funding cuts for the upcoming year. However, some contend that the state's funding formula may be counterproductive. A Reason Foundation study suggests that taxpayers have spent over $4 billion on more than 400,000 “ghost students” — over 6% of total state school aid.
