The best graduation rate of a transfer high school in 2007 was 69 percent. This comes from a 2007 report by the Office of Multiple Pathways to Education.
1) How was this graduation rate measured -- did the students have to come in the same year they graduated?
2) Brooklyn Comprehensive's graduation rate was always above 60%.
3) The graduation rate at YABC's with Learning-to-Work programs is 44% according to Mayor Bloomberg's own website. This percentage is presented as a GOOD THING.
Something is rotten in the State of DOE...
I believe we were closed because
1) All transfer high schools now STOP ADMITTING STUDENTS AFTER 18.
2) Students over 18 are shipped to GED programs because typically, according to the Office of Multiple Pathways' report, it only takes them a year to graduate.
We kept students till 21. We let them take three years if they needed them to get a REAL high school diploma.
