TOLEDO, Ohio - In order to get a good job, most people say education is key.
But research shows, more than a million high school students drop out of school every year.
That's 7,000 a day, one every 26seconds. But what's being done to help these students stay in school?
According to the Ohio Department of Education Toledo's graduation rate was 86% last year.
But a $10,000 grant could help more students graduate.
