What It Takes
Every child in Delaware has the right to an excellent public education. Many already are doing OK. But too many students are shortchanged, and Delaware must do better. According to national statistics, only 60% of Delaware’s students graduate from high school on time, and just one-third of those are ready for college and the workplace. Over 14% of Delaware’s public schools (26) are performing at very low levels and face restructuring in the next few years, and that number, without serious intervention, could rise to 67 (37%) by 2013.
