Are you talking about the US? The statistic suggests that you’re talking about somewhere specific. I’ll assume the US.
You have several claims that are not obviously related. That’s not to say that I disagree with any of them, though I probably would disagree with the implicit claims that relate them, if I had to guess what they were. One red flag is the conflation of public and private schools, which have different goals and methods. The 6 year graduation rate is really about public schools, right? But then you invoke selective schools in the last paragraph.
Thank you, this was a quite useful link for me. (Finnish colleges currently charge no tuition fees, and some are arguing for their introduction on the basis that this would make people graduate faster; those statistics show that US students don’t really graduate any much better than Finnish ones.)

The six year rate is is a nationwide average for the united states.

I stand by my statement.
Well, then I guess I’m triple special for getting a degree straight from high school in 2.5 years. In engineering. [/toots horn]
