Age and Sex Young adults ages 18-19 who were no longer enrolled in high school were less likely than older adults to have completed high school. In 1999, approximately 83.8 percent of 18- and 19-year-olds not currently enrolled in high school had completed their secondary schooling, compared with 87.4 percent of young adults ages 22-24 (table 4). As might be expected given their relatively lower status dropout rates, females ages 18-24 who were no longer enrolled in high school were more likely to have completed high school than their male peers. In 1999, 87.1 percent of female young adults had completed high school compared with about 84.8 percent of male young adults.
