TAKS denies nearly 1 in 10 a diploma
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News: "Nearly one of every 10 high school seniors – more than 21,000 students from the Class of '05 – can't get a diploma this month because they couldn't pass some portion of the state graduation test after multiple tries, the Texas Education Agency reported Friday.
Minority failure rates were particularly alarming. Fifteen percent of black students and 14 percent of Hispanics – about one in seven – flunked one or more subject areas of the test. The failure rate for whites was 5 percent.
The results highlight the continuing gap in achievement between whites and minorities in all grade levels and how far urban schools still have to go."
