I totally agree...I think culture, race, etc are items that need to be inclluded. I think the highest rate is IOWA....ok !
Plus found this...now either the Orlando Sentinel is making stuff up or..
"Florida's high school graduation rate climbed again and hit another all-time high this year at 80.1 percent, the state announced this morning. In 2007, the state's graduation rate was 70.3 percent.
The improved graduation rate for the 2010-11 school year follows a six-year trend of a growing percentage of Florida students earning diplomas, the Florida Department of Education said."
This from Dec 2011
Florida high school graduation rate: Florida's high school graduation rate highest ever - Orlando Sentinel
Could be as you say BTK....what exactly did you use to measure ??
Just again....I would not use a "hate" site as my source for anything.
