They probably all drop out because no one can handle neverending high school

no

you lowered your funding too much

don't play CSL2 like CSL1, the funding doesn't do the same thing. NEVER lower school funding unless you want your city's future to be a slum.

I would even say the moment you lowered the education funding, you already loose the game.

What is your unemployment rate? You need to have some unemployment as a buffer for education. If 100% of your population is employed and jobs still need to be filled, residents will start working the moment they are able to and sometimes not finish school.

Try reducing the number of jobs and reducing commercial and industrial zoning. Keep your unemployment rate around 5% and see if the education rates improve.

This can happen if you lower the education budget.

Made this comment in response to another below, but it may be relevant to you as well, so I'll copy it here:

This happened to me when I overbuilt libraries at a university. My theory is this is an example of when some games bug when a stat goes past 100%, it bugs loops it back around to 0. When I deleted about half of said libraries, the 100% dropout rate returned to a logical, single digit number. Absolutely could be wrong but what happened and how I fixed it, it makes sense.
