High school dropout rates would be expected to be highest:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Large schools that group students according to ability and that fail a relatively high proportion of students in the early years of high school pose a higher risk for dropouts as it creates a culture of demotivation and low self-esteem for students. In contrast, schools that emphasize academic achievement and hold high standards are more likely to encourage students to succeed and graduate. Allowing struggling students to change schools may not necessarily lead to higher dropout rates, and promoting students based solely on age rather than achievement may not be a significant factor in determining dropout rates.
