Annual Income by Educational Attainment

• Each dropout costs the nation about $260,000 in lost lifetime income

• The college graduate can expect to earn $772,140 more over a lifetime than a high school graduate

• MCPS’ 4,000 annual college graduates collectively earn $3.09 billion more over their working lifetimes than a an equal number of their peers who received only a high school diploma

$ 52,671 - $26,993 = $25,738 x 30 year career = $772,140 x 4,000 grads = $ 3.09 billion

• The 1,000 members of each MCPS graduating class who fail to earn a diploma each reduce lifetime earnings by $260,000 compared to a high school graduate, collectively earning $2.6 million less than an equal number of high school graduates.

• 3,850 members (49.6%) of the MCPS Class of 2001 graduated from college within 6 years. Nationally, only 27.5% of high school graduates earn a college degree in 6 years. In relative terms, in a comparable hypothetical national Class of 2001, 2,135 students would have earned a college degree. The 1,715 additional MCPS students who received a college degree represent $1,334,220,100 in additional lifetime income.

3,850 MCPS College Grads – 2,135 National College Grads = 1,715 students x $772,140 lifetime earnings difference = $1,324,220,100 Lifetime earnings difference for a single graduating class when the target is not a college-ready high school outcome.


High School Dropout $17,299
