Detriot Ranks last in graduations

The Detriot Free Press reports:

Fewer than one in four high school students in Detroit graduate on time, according to a new report released Tuesday that compares the 50 largest U.S. school districts and ranks the city's public schools last in the nation.

Only 21.7% of the Detroit district's students graduate in four years, the Diplomas Count report said. In it, the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center in Bethesda, Md., used a formula based on the number of students at the beginning of the year in each class -- ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th -- and the number of students who moved on to the next class the following year or graduated. The magazine Education Week published the report Tuesday.

High taxes,unions,and decades of Democratic party control of Detriot have created a disaster.I guess the Democratic party really isn't the party of education.
