I completely agree that there don't appear to be any controls to validate the data. We are left to speculate on what they might be. It would be instructive to see what quintile poor kids who drop out of school end up in, as well as what quintile wealthier kids who go to college end up in. What we're comparing here is certainly not directly comparable, as there isn't any proper normalization.
