FosterMore is an organization meant to bring awareness to foster care and how to help kids achieve their overall goals. It contains many statistics about foster care in general. The main statistics they provide are:
- There are about 400,000 kids total in foster care- This is about the population of Miami, Florida
- 26,000 kids age out of the system each year
- 70% of foster youth aspire to go to college
- 65% of foster youth experience 7 or more school changes
Where do they go after they age out of the system? 70% aspire to go to college but what are the numbers that do? Is there a drop out rate in high school?
