Does the following sentence sound correct?
- One of the most important reasons to be considered is that graduation from high school does not always assure the POTENTIAL of learners.
Thank you.

One's potential is what one is capable of achieving. I interpret this sentence to mean (and would rewrite it as):
"One of the most important reasons to consider is that graduating from high school does not guarantee that the student will reach his or her potential."
