Washington, D.C. area high schools are likely to see their graduation rates plummet this year, after an investigation revealed that one in three kids who graduated in 2017 earned an invalid or incomplete diploma.
The shocking study revealed that of the 73% of students Washington, D.C. claimed earned their high school diplomas, only about two-thirds of those students did so legitimately, according to The Washington Post. This year, only about 42% of high school seniors are currently on track to graduate without the district “cooking the books.”
