Dropping out is not the opposite of not graduating; you can continue trying to graduate for several years. The actual dropout rate is 7.4%: nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=16

Thanks for the correction. The Atlantic article should have specified that they meant the four year graduation rate. I did think that 25% seemed too high, but I knew that 1% was much too low.
