Alicia Lyster on May 23, 2011 in School StoriesFrom “A Portrait of California,” released today by the American Human Development Project:
Only one hundred of California’s nearly 2,500 high schools account for nearly half of the state’s dropouts.
Wow. Based on a speed-read, I’m not sure where this statistic comes from, but just: wow.
The report uses census data to look at health, education, and living standards, not surprisingly revealing wide disparities in the Golden State.
