CONWAY —Five years ago Kennett High School had the highest drop out rate in the state: nearly 25 percent of the kids who started as freshman never graduated. In 2006, 68 kids dropped out. Last year, only two did. What caused such a huge drop? "A lot of people in this valley worked real hard to get to this point, it's been a total team effort," Carl Nelson, school superintendent, said, Wednesday. "From where we were to where we are today, it just shows the support for education in this community and how important an education is. "I'm very happy with where we are but we're not quite to the ultimate goal yet," he added. "We're two students away. I believe we can get there." The state can also take a lot of the credit when two years it ago it passed a law raising the minimum age of dropping out from 16-18, making it against the law for the vast majority of students to even consider it. see KENNETT page 8
