Summary:

Reform of the educational systems in the United States and all over the world are coming from a wide variety of sources-philanthropists and businesses, federal and state governments, administrators and teachers, large and small school districts. More nimble school districts have the best chance of creating a revised model of educational delivery that will produce successful students. The national statistics are awful. For every one hundred low-income students who enter high school, only sixty-five will get a high school diploma, fifty-three will enroll in college, and eleven will actually complete a college degree. And the statistics for students living in poverty are far worse. This is one of many reasons why Roger Cook and the Taylor County Schools are of particular interest. Any district with a 61 percent poverty rate and more than 40 percent of students attending college and zero, yes, zero, dropouts deserves to be examined. Book jacket.
