Report Round-up: June 8, 2012

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for your weekly Report Round-up. Here are some reports that came out in the past week that we think should be on your radar!

“Diplomas Count 2012: Trailing Behind, Moving Forward – Latino Students in U.S. Schools” – Education Week

“A new national report from Education Week and the Editorial Projects in Education (EPE) Research Center finds that the nation’s graduation rate has posted a solid gain for the second straight year, following a period of declines and stagnation. Amid this continuing turnaround, the nation’s graduation rate has risen to 73 percent, the highest level of high school completion since the late 1970s. The report shows that the nation’s public schools will generate about 90,000 fewer dropouts than the previous year. Nationwide improvements were driven, in large part, by impressive gains among Latino students.”
