California's Questionable Dropout Statistics
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 9.22.1998
If one listens to California education officials, one bright spot for public education has been the decrease in the state's student dropout rate. State schools chief Delaine Eastin has bragged that during the past decade California's dropout rate has been cut in half to an all-time low of just 13 percent last year. Such glowing statewide statistics, however, are highly misleading.
