Chicago Public Schools Graduation Rate

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A controversial April study exposing dismal college graduation rates for Chicago Public Schools students -- only 6.5 percent were earning four-year college degrees by their mid-20s -- had errors, its think tank author said Wednesday.

That figure is actually 8 percent, the University of Chicago's Consortium on Chicago School Research says in a revision issued this month in the wake of two universities' challenges of reported graduation rates for their CPS alumni.
Just 8%.High taxes and a bad product.I guess being in the public sector means never having to be accountable.
