How Dixon enablers think: Lose the war. Declare victory.

the Trib editors’ take on the Dixon years.

The Trib notes this:

80.5 percent of white students, 34.3 percent of American Indian students, fewer than 50 percent of black students and barely more than half of economically disadvantaged students graduated on time last year.

My take?

After losing better than 10% of its students to other schools the Dixon team has managed to fail better than 20% of its remaining students. Ah, but we’ve got such nice new schools. The Emerald City’s Chamber of Commerce is happy.
