67% can't do math
OP is way too vague. Those stats may be true in some places, but I'd need a little more detail before biting.

Anywhere you go there are going to be differences in the averages. Without reading it, I would imagine it is an average of the country as a whole...which is even worse because as you say, there are high performing schools, so in order to drag that stat so far down there must be some VERY low performing...

We just last week had a thread about there not being one single child in the Baltimore school district who was reading at grade level.
That's 13 schools, 83000 students. My local school district has 1200 students and is probably about average sized for rural America in that 90% of our students pass the reading test most years, so it would take 69 "average sized" school districts where EVERY single child was reading at grade level just to make up for Baltimore.
Multiply that times however many major urban school districts are probably <= 40%.

Only 5 percent of Detroit public-school eighth graders were proficient or better in math. Only 7 percent were proficient or better in reading.
Holy shite! Can you imagine how low the percent is that are proficient in both? You know, like a normal person.
I just am having a hard time believing this.
ETA: HOLY CRAP!!!

Among the states, Louisiana public elementary schools did the worst in teaching students math and New Mexico public elementary schools did the worst job teaching reading.
In the Louisiana public schools, only 19 percent of the eighth graders were proficient or better in math and only 25 percent were proficient or better in reading.

Read the article, the stats were for some places. Kids that can marginally read and not understand what they are reading really can't read.
No one suggested every schools is filled with dysfunctional children.
