Nearly 50 percent of students in low income communities drop out of high school before graduation. One approach to solving this problem is building college-going culture.
On the current edition of Prevention West Virginia, Michele Burnside interviews Jen Wood to discuss how College Summit WV is working with high schools to prepare students for success beyond graduation.
