The rise in American high school attendance was one of the most striking
developments in U.S education during the 20th century From 1900 to 2000 the percentage of teenagers who graduated from high school increased from about percent to about 88 percent High school attendance grew because more and more students regarded additional schooling as the key to succeeding in an increasingly urban and industrialized society In addition, after the introduction of strict child labor laws in the early 20th century,fewer teenagers entered the workforce than they had previously, which gave them the time to attend school School provided teenagers with an acceptable alternative to labor that gave meaning to their lives before they entered the workforce, established a family, or began college As the 20th century progressed, most states enacted legislation extending
compulsory education laws to the age of 16 Most students found it more enjoyable- and more profitable in the long run- to stay in school beyond the legal limits than to leave, or drop out, before graduating
