Some major cities making strides to curb dropouts

April 22, 2009

I found this story published by the education writer for the Associated Press.  The group, America's Promise has done some tremendous work in working on education issues related to students in underperforming school districts.  Cities such as Philadelphia and Kansas City have made double digit improvements in the past decade.  I don't think it is a conincidence that these two cities have made a focused effort on turning around their lowest performing schools. 

Here is a link to the article,
