most extraordinary researchers and people i ever met, please welcome bob, co-director at john hopkins university take a look at the most recent data and figure out how to get to 90%. we have to step on the gas. how do we do that? we begin with the good news. the number of low graduation rate a schools has dropped considerably since 2002. from 2000 to about 1500. that is a 25% improvement. these are the schools that are graduating 50-50. a quarter of them -- imagine what that means to the land of opportunity. in an era where there is no work for a high-school dropout, it is progress to say there are 25% fewer than a decade before. but, if we go at this rate, there are thousand left in 2020. we cannot have a thousand schools or the odds of graduating are 50-50. basically it is a coin toss. we have to a accelerate. a couple of things are in our favor. the recent data from 2010 does not include the impact of a school improvement grant process and an effort to target the low graduation rate high- school swiss transformative reform. you will hear about that later on this morning. faster than the reduc
