failing schools  

Définition

  • When most critics of public education refer to “failing schools,” they are referring primarily to urban schools where students fail to make sufficient or expected gains on standardized tests and schools that have low graduation rates and correspondingly high dropout rates. These so-called dropout factories are failing to educate a large proportion of students successfully who live in impoverished circumstances, especially in the nation's largest cities.
