According to the federal government's most accurate state-by-state report on the topic Oregon has the fourth-worst high school graduation rate in the nation. The report revealed that Oregon high schools generate far-above-average dropout rates for students of every racial and ethnic group, including the nation's third-worst graduation rate for African Americans. Earlier tallies by the federal government and research institutes suggested Oregon's dropout rate was middle-of-the road. In reality, Oregon is one of only five that failed to graduate at least 70 percent of students on time. Nine states, including Iowa and Indiana, graduated more than 85 percent of their class of 2011 students on time.
