And so the debate still rages about Florida’s high school graduation rate. Is it 71 percent, as this state’s own calculations, which includes GED diplomas, indicates? Or is it 57.5 percent as reported recently in Education Week magazine? In short, either nearly 30 percent of Florida’s students don’t graduate or more than 40 percent don’t graduate. One is bad, the other is worse. They’re both a disgrace. About that, there should be no debate.
