Teen Pregnancy Statistics

All statistics and facts are from the California Department of Education website.

"70% of teen mothers drop out of high school, making pregnancy the primary reason young women drop out early. Only 30% of teen mothers complete high school by age 30, compared to 76% of women who delay parenthood until age 21 or older."

"California's birth rates to teens are between 4 and 12 times higher than are the rates for France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan. In 2001, more than 53,000 teens - nearly 5% of all teens aged 15 to 19 - gave birth in California, and many more became pregnant."

"The California Department of Finance conservatively projects a 23% increase in annual teen births in California within 5 years resulting in approximately 12,500 more California teen births in 2008 than there were in 2001."

"Only one out of five teen mothers receive any financial support from their child's father."

Chez Spencer Restaurant
82 14th Street at Folsom

All the proceeds go to the Hilltop School. Hilltop is the only high school in San Francisco dedicated to the education of teen parents. Their mission is to: “enable pregnant and parenting teens to progress towards completion of their secondary education, to make responsible and informed decisions, to have healthy pregnancies and healthy families, to become responsible, effective parents, and to become contributing, well adjusted, self-sufficient members of their communities.”

The Hilltop School does an amazing job of educating teen parents, both in academics and in parenting. They want to do more, but because of lack of funds they can’t. One of the greatest challenges that keeps teen mothers from graduating from high school is transportation. To increase the attendance rates, Hilltop needs funds to create a taxi voucher system that will provide transportation for their students. Many of the students come from all over San Francisco and have to take multiple buses and travel great distances. This is difficult enough, but even more challenging when you are traveling with a newborn baby in a stroller, a baby bag, and a backpack. Hilltop would like to put together a taxi voucher system and distribute a certain number of vouchers to each girl, which they can use in urgent situations.
