Almost all foster children move schools at least once a year. 1 in 3 go through 5 or more schools.
-Limited Education-
50% of foster children do not get a high school diploma. Less than 3% get a college degree.
-Unreliable Transportation-
Finding reliable transportation is one of the biggest challenges facing those in foster care.

Former foster youth are 7 times more likely to develop drug dependency than their peers.
