Experts say two possible reasons for a declining "Go On" rate could be a better economy luring students into the workforce out of high school and the LDS Church allowing students to go on missions starting at 18 years old. Yet many educators say there are plenty of positive things happening in the high schools. They site the number of dual credit classes being offered and and more money from the state going into counseling.
