It looks like a recent, very problematic report from Johns Hopkins University, “For All Kids, How Kentucky is Closing the High School Graduation Gap for Low-Income Students,” is likely to get pushed well beyond the Bluegrass State’s borders.
The publishers just announced a webinar on this report for August 30th.
Anyway, you need to get up to speed on why this report is build on a foundation of sand. You can do that fairly quickly by checking these blogs:
News release: The uneven quality of Kentucky’s high school diplomas
More on the quality control problems with Kentucky’s high school diplomas – Part 1
A third blog will release at 8 am Eastern tomorrow. It will probably link at
More on the quality control problems with Kentucky’s high school diplomas – Part 2
I won’t know for sure until it releases, however.
Let me know if you have questions and especially if this Hopkins report starts making the rounds in your state.
