Heritage High School officials dispute study claim.
Byline: Annie McCallum
Oct. 31--Taking aim at a study released this week critical of Heritage High School's student retention rate, Lynchburg City School officials on Tuesday cited several areas where they said the data used in the report was flawed or incomplete.
The analysis, conducted for The Associated Press by Johns Hopkins University and based on an analysis of federal Education Department data, was released Monday and scrutinized by Lynchburg City Schools officials after it named Heritage High School a "dropout factory." The term refers to high schools with retention rates -- percentage of students who move from their freshman to senior year -- of 60 percent or less.
The report said about 1,200 regular or vocational high schools nationwide, about 12 percent, fit that description. It named Heritage as one of 22 high schools in Virginia and the only one in Central Virginia.
