40% of schools fail to make the grade WWLP.com:


"Connecticut education officials say 40 percent of the state's public schools failed to meet performance standards this year under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

A report released Tuesday by the state Department of Education says 406 of 987 schools failed to make 'adequate yearly progress' under the federal law. That's down slightly from the 408 schools that didn't meet the standards last year.

The schools on this year's list include some prestigious ones, like Greenwich High School, West Hartford's Hall High School and Glastonbury High School."
