“An impressive 45 city high schools managed above-average graduation rates in 2015, but still failed to prepare many students for college, a report by the reform group StudentsFirstNY shows.
The report employs city data to identify dozens of high schools that posted grad rates above the city’s record average of 70% set in 2015, but college readiness rates lower than 20%.
The city schools’ college readiness benchmarks are far more strenuous than the requirements for earning a diploma and are designed to set a standard of education to enable students to succeed in college.”
