EDUCATION SERIES

"Transforming High Schools: Helping All Students Succeed"

Imagine that an overnight mail service failed to deliver a third of its packages on time, or that three-quarters of the stereos produced by an electronics company failed to meet industry standards. Imagine that a retail clothing company provided high-quality customer service, but only to certain types of customers. Would these companies stay in business? Now, consider that American high schools: allow one-quarter of students to read below basic levels, fail to graduate 30 percent of their students on time, prepare only 7 percent of students from this country's poorest families for college. How have we allowed this widespread failure to occur? How can we allow it to continue?
