Not making the grade
Critical Mass

There are 80,000 third graders in New York City. 11,700 of them scored well below grade-level on either their math or English assessment tests. Once all the appealing and the summer schooling is over with, 10,000 of them will probably be held back for another year in third grade. There's lots of controversy about it all, and the New York Times nytimes.com rehearses a lot of it. But the bottom line is that more than 12% of the third graders in New York City can't read, can't do basic math, or can't do either one.
