[quote=Anonymous]I would think you'd have to dig deeper into that data to get a full picture. I suspect that Wakefield's higher percentage of Latino students contributes to that statistic. I read recently that less than 60 percent of Latino students in Arlington graduate, which is consistent with national trends as well. I have a Latina foster daughter who is a high school senior struggling to graduate in Arlington, struggling with a combination of language difficulty and cultural norms for Latinas. Her school has been beyond helpful, and if she fails to graduate, while it will be a mark against their statistics, it should not be construed as a failure or lack of effort or educational quality on their part.[/quote]
