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?
