How many pregnant teens stay in school?

There's no single, readily available statistic on exactly how many pregnant teens stay in school. Data collection on this topic is complex and varies by country and even within countries depending on reporting practices. Factors affecting data include:

* Definition of "staying in school": Does it mean graduating? Does it include alternative schooling options like home schooling or online programs? Does it account for delays in graduation?

* Reporting inconsistencies: Schools and districts may not uniformly track this data, and student privacy concerns can make data collection difficult.

* Variations across demographics: The percentage of pregnant teens who stay in school can vary significantly based on factors like socioeconomic status, access to support services, and geographical location.

While precise numbers are elusive, studies and reports consistently show that a significant portion of pregnant teens *do* attempt to continue their education, though often facing significant challenges. Many drop out temporarily, but some successfully return to complete their education. The percentage that successfully remain enrolled and graduate varies considerably depending on the aforementioned factors. To find more specific data, you'd need to look at studies focusing on particular regions or demographics.
