StudentsFirstNY Statement on NYC Graduation Rate Release

"Graduating students should be proud of their hard work and public charter schools deserve special recognition for improving at a faster rate than the district. However, Mayor de Blasio should hold the self-congratulation because the achievement gap remains too large, college readiness rates are too low, and watered-down criteria may explain gains," said StudentsFirstNY Executive Director Jenny Sedlis.
