Youth Will Complete School (Washington) (Formerly School Completion)

Story Behind the Curve

While Washington County adults, 25 years and older, rank in the top third in the State of Maryland for graduating from high school, they rank in the bottom quarter for those attaining a post-secondary education. There is a strong correlation between the level of education an individual attains and the economic stability he/she will experience. The more education an individual attains, the more likely he/she is to be economically stable. Studies have noted the dramatic difference in income between individuals with no high school diploma and individuals possessing high school diplomas and post-secondary degrees and training certificates. Low prioritization of educational attainment contributes to generational poverty.

Why Is This Important?

All Washington County children live in households headed by an adult or adults who have attained a level of educational attainment and/or specialized training that affords them the opportunity to meet their financial obligations and provide for the necessities of their children without undue reliance on public supports. Such households facilitate the child's opportunity to live a productive, developmentally appropriate childhood in their respective household.
