Mixed bag based on the report, but delving into it the report seems to have a lot of "correlation" being linked to "causation"
For example, "Texas students who dropped the program after one year were 1.5% less likely to graduate than students of similar racial and economic backgrounds who didn’t participate in the program." - Ok .. don't dispute that statistic. Now, WHY was that so? Were these ones that were already inclined to 'give up' rather than 'knuckle down' and them quitting the JROTC program was just a symptom and not the cause?

Was about to make the same point. Especially when considering automatic enrollment. Seems to me those least likely to complete HS and most likely to have low grades are ALSO those most likely to complete 1 year or less of a program they didn't want to join in the first place.
Quitters quit. Quitting JROTC is a symptom, not a cause.
