Re: Registration 2011

I am a little confused, your 2009 and 2010 graphs have an orange bar after the 11 year drop out teams that does not seem to be on the access. 12th year drop out?

The years that make me sad are the 11 year plus drop out team. I always wonder what was the straw that broke the camels back for them.

Making up a causation here: The fact the last large drop out group is the four year group, cause me to wonder if a large hump for teams is recruitment that dries up after the initial freshman graduate?
[I realize that alot of these teams have issues with the other big humps(mentor retention, finances, school support, parent support, ect.), but what fun is data if you don't come to some wild conclusions]
