Did you know that there are just 2,000 high schools that produce more than half of the U.S. dropouts? These schools graduate just 2/3rds of their student body. We all recognize that there are pockets of excellence and pockets of discouragement in our school system. There are also tiny gems hidden within the worst situations imaginable.
The education system has yet to find systematic solutions for the "repeat offenders" in part, because there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Reports like this one from the Jobs for the Future foundation help identify the underlying causes and not only fix them but avoid perpetuating them.
