Re: [Phys-L] Private schools

Some of them obviously go back to the local school.  But some of them just
disappear from schools.  In TX they claim that students are traced so they
claim a high graduation rate.  But if you look at the incoming vs outgoing
students the drop out rate has to be high.  If the school is told that a
child is being home schooled or transferring to another school they take
them out of the drop out category, but they never check to see whether this
is true.  I suspect the same thing happens in many states.
