Answer:

By this point, we know that Wes has made some seriously bad decisions. However, by mentioning the graduation rates of Baltimore City versus Baltimore County and the overall state of Maryland, Moore reminds us that the odds have been stacked against Wes because of his race, his socioeconomic status, and where he was born. While Woody has managed to make it to graduation, most of his friends have not.
