New York City's schools' graduation rate below 40 percent

The AP reports:

A new report says the city's high schools graduate just 38.9 percent of their students, but New York officials, who claim the rate is closer to 53 percent, are disputing the methodology behind the lower figure.

The study, released Tuesday by Education Week magazine, ranks the graduation rate of the nation's largest school system as the third lowest among the 50 biggest school districts in the country.

Detroit fared the worst, with a rate of 21.7 percent, while Fairfax County, Va., was ranked the best, with 82.5 percent of students graduating.
