  15. We know what it takes: graduate from high school get and keep a job delay pregnancy until age 25 or marriage (Haskins, R., and Sawhill, I. (2009).

  17. Third grade is a critical juncture on the road to high school graduation. It is the pivot point -- 74 percent of students who fail to read on grade level by the end of third grade will not finish high school on time. What We Know Call in number 712-775-7000 passcode 1073773
