That means these are schools where no more than 60 percent of students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year.

Monroe Central High School in the Switzerland of Ohio school district is on that list.

At Monroe Central, 51 percent of children made it from their freshman to their senior year.

In West Virginia, four schools were flagged with a high dropout rate.

At Robert C. Byrd High School, 131 of 270 freshmen made it to their senior year.

That's less than 50 percent.

Harrison County Superintendent Carl Friebel said that number is misleading because Robert C. Byrd has a high number of students who transfer to other schools rather than drop out.

Friebel says the tally also doesn't include students who graduate after taking summer school classes.
