Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, many schools in the United States had to make the switch to distance learning rather than in-person classes. Because of the switch to online learning, it is estimated that if in-classroom instruction does not resume until fall 2021, that there will be an additional 1.1 million high-school dropouts in the U.S.
