More African-American seniors at Chicago's Whitney Young Magnet High School passed the college-level English Language Advanced Placement exam last year than at any other school in the world, public or private, officials said Wednesday.I think it's great, personally. I just think the article title is misleading.
The distinction is based on only 34 kids, exam officials said.
However, that was enough to beat similar selective-enrollment schools in New York City and Washington, D.C.
There's a big difference between city students, but then basing this on only a sample of 34 students at one school. What about the rest of city students around the city in other similarly composed schools? Just wondering!
