(The Center Square) — King Randall saw the graduation rate of his local school district and knew something was wrong, particularly with some students graduating “functionally illiterate.”
“We have the highest graduation rate in the state of Georgia, but only 12% of our students are graduating school proficient in math,” Randall said. “That’s crazy. So, I don’t even understand how we’re graduating students.”
