Abstract
- The article reports on a study that both commends and criticizes Florida's measure of its high school graduation rate. The study was run by Jessica Ice and Joseph Wachtel, Florida State University political science doctoral students, and concludes that Florida is too secretive about its method. Florida claims to have a higher graduation rate than U.S. national statistics, which place it near the bottom. However, the study praises how Florida tracks individual students.
