Left Behind

The latest installment in the Indy Star editorial board’s “Left Behind” series on Indiana’s dropout crisis was published today. The piece, titled “Not Just an Urban Problem,” reports, “Some 4,300 students from the original class of 2005 dropped out of Central Indiana’s schools. And not just those of IPS and township districts. A survey of school districts in the mostly-White doughnut counties shows that graduation rates are abysmal there too, with high school graduation rates nearly as low as IPS.” Here are the previous installments:
