The academic goal of the program is to advance the literacy of the youth to that of a high school graduate. Since youths arrive at an average age of 17, with little or no credit, when they do graduate at age 19 to 20, they are considered high school dropouts because they did not complete their studies within the four years from when they started. In 2010, 55 young men received their high school diplomas at Lord High School, yet O.D.E. reports a graduation rate of 1.6%.
