Four out of 10 CPS freshmen do not graduate.

If they do graduate, 91 percent have to take remediation courses in college because they do not know how to do basic math and school work. Just 26 percent of CPS high school students are college-ready, according to the ACT subject matter tests

So chicago has roughly 22,000 seniors each year. Only 13,200 of them graduate and of those only 1,188 don't need remediation courses in college.

That's insane if a school system can't produce any better than 5.4% ready for college without remediation.
