NYC has awful schools, some of the worse in the nation.
It also has some of the best. There’s a large economic divide in the city which is a real problem. Some of the private schools are literally some of the best in the world. Very expensive too.
None of the published graduation rates include any of these private schools which are all at 100%. And that’s a lot of students so the numbers are a bit off when you take the richest and smartest (scholarship)
kids out of the equation.
And try not to be misleading in yours. The chart you linked to confirms that Florida has a larger percentage of HS graduates than NY.
Additionally, the numbers don't take into account the fact that a large percentage of NYC HS graduates are deemed *not* college ready by the city's own criteria, which suggests that students in NYC are being pushed through the system and graduated whether they have earned it or not.
That's utter bull-****. A person living in Texas and in New York with comparable taxable income are taxed in their 1040 at the same bracket regardless of jurisdiction. ..

LOL, I wasn't talking about Federal Income Tax at all, but I hope your little rant made you feel better.
No one is going into law enforcement from any law enforcement family anymore.
That said, I'm 41, retired for over a month, am sitting on the beach right now (as I have all summer), and you'll be paying me just shy of 6 figures for the rest of my life

What did I quote or say that was misleading. I try very hard to be accurate and will readily admit when I am wrong. Where is the falsehood?
Most of those are developmentally disabled and are allowed to attend “high school” or some special program until 21. Does Florida have that rule too? I am familiar with both the public and private school landscape in nyc. I know teachers in those alternative programs.
I am far from knowledgeable about Florida public schools, only anecdotally. My friends moved to winter park from ny because they felt it was one of the only decent public schools in Florida. They were not thrilled but found it acceptable. Same with a friend who moved to Boca. Is this not accurate?

Not a rant...but sharing knowledge based on my expertise since that happens to be my line of work.
