From the C-J’s Learning Curve blog:

Twenty-eight high schools across Kentucky have so many students leave before their senior year that they are considered “dropout factories,” according to a new report conducted by Johns Hopkins University for The Associated Press.

According to the report, those schools — which include 10 high schools in Jefferson County Public Schools — are among 1,700 regular or vocational high schools nationwide where 60 percent or less of the students who enter high school make it to their senior year.

Those in Jefferson County include: Doss, Fern Creek, Fairdale, Iroquois, Jeffersontown, Moore Traditional, Shawnee, Southern, Valley and Western.
