NY Graduation Rates

The annual grad rate announcement showed significant uptick in NYC, but as everyone quoted in all these stories notes, is still utterly depressing statewide. Basically, if you're a black or Hispanic kid in New York State, you still don't even have a 50-50 shot at graduating.

Profoundly disturbing.
