MEF students graduate high school at 5 times the rate of their Chicago public school peers!  

Nationwide, nearly one in three high school students drops out before graduating.  In total, approximately 1.2 million students drop out each year - about 7,000 every school day, or one every 26 seconds.

Students, parents, and the city of Chicago need the Midtown Educational Foundation to keep kids on track to high school graduation and success in life.
