Graduation rates inaccurate

In the Journal, link.

It turns out that our frighteningly low high school graduation
rates are lower than reported. 12% of students who were
reported as having "graduated" did not have the required
credits in order to graduate.

The problem is blamed on institutional incompetence; the
system lacks the resources and the ability to keep track of
senior's credits for them.

The Journal did not (investigate and) report upon APS'
individual graduation statistics to see if their rates were
inflated by graduating students who had not earned it.

To those in the know, that indicates there is a problem with
APS' numbers too.
