These dropouts never anticipated that their newfound independence would bring greater responsibilities in their college program. They get burned out and discouraged, so they quit. For example, only 23 percent of the 1.3 million high school graduates who took the American College Test (ACT) in 2007 were ready for college work because they knew basic subjects in English, math, reading, and science .
