click though any MCPS annual report for drop out rates by demographic and test scores over grade levels by demographic.

I don't know what is worse, the standardized test scores showing proficiency level at diminishing low %'s each grade for ESOL and FARMS over time, or increasing drop out rates each grade for ESOl and FARMS. 
At that point it's a two-way swing: more and more ESOL and FARMS are dropping out from 4th grade to 6th to 8th to 10th grade, and the ones left are scoring worse and worse, from 50% being proficient to 35% to 25% from grades 4 through 10. [/quote]

Well, let's see. The overall graduation rate is 89.8%, for African-American students it's 87.7%, for Hispanic students it's 80.4%, for special ed it's 72.0%, for FARMS it's 82.9%. So, where did you get the 50%+ drop-out rates from?
