There is a high drop-out rate in Nevada. The district began a recent campaign "Door-to-Door", they go from door to door to evry student thats dropped out of high school to try and get them to go back to school. The teams contacted 222 students, resulting in more than 26 percent returning to school, whereas last year it was only 16%.According to Washoe County Superintendent Heath Morrison, the disconnect between students and schools happens long before high school.
