Key Initiative of 'No Child Left Behind' Under Federal Investigation

My high school was one of the just 37 public schools across America that were honored as being textbook examples of the "success" of No Child Left Behind and we had a 20% dropout rate. That says something.

That rate fluctuates a lot. It's usually between 10 and 20 percent though.
