State takeover will not solve problems

Let's say you have a school district with 32,000 students. But 13,000 of those students will never graduate from high school. Of the 19,000 who do graduate, just half will take a college entrance examination. And of that number, just 12 percent - or less than 2,300 students - will score average or higher on that college entrance exam.
