WP: Low College Grad. Rate for DCPS

9%. That's the percentage of DCPS high school freshmen who will graduate from college within five years of completing high school, according to the Post (the report the story is based on actually says something slightly different). The national average is 23%. Others numbers of interest:
43% of DCPS high schoo; students graduate within 5 years (68% is the national average)

The report aparently does more localized breakdowns as well (making it a far more useful tool).
Read the story here.

While these numbers aren't promising, what I want to know is DC being compared to average state numbers or city numbers?
