Ed Week gives Ohio a good grade for graduation rate

dc2008-cover-toc.jpg

Education Week’s Diplomas Count report on graduation rates nationally is out and there is generally good news for Ohio. Compared to other states, Ohio’s graduation rate grade might be described as a high “B” and that rate is growing faster than most states.

Still, Ed Week estimates more than 200 kids a day drop out and that this year’s statewide graduating class is missing about 38,000 kids who should be getting diplomas. Those are disturbing numbers.

Diplomas Count is a really good report. Take a look and let us know what you think in the comments.
