Seattle Schools Community Forum: LEV is Among the Worst:

LEV is Among the Worst

by Charlie Mas

Here is a link to a story on the LEV blog with the headline "Washington among the worst when it comes to Black male graduation rates".

The story - written by the League of Education Voters - says:

"The Schott Foundation has released individual report cards revealing the graduation rates of Black male students, and Washington is among the worst performers."

Later in the story, however, the LEV admits:

"The national graduation average for Black male students in the 2007-2008 school year is 47 percent, which technically means that Washington is slightly above average."
