High school graduation rate Someone made this edit saying that Minneapolis had one of the lowest high school graduation rates in Minnesota citing this page from the Minnesota Department of Education When I checked the report the 2005 2006 Dropout Graduation Rates Special Populations report it reveals that Minneapolis has a low graduation rate of 66 08 I sorted the data and found that there are several school districts with lower graduation rates Intermediate School District 287 Red Lake and Cass Lake Bena appear to be the only public school districts that have lower graduation rates I m not exactly sure if some of the other school districts listed are actually charter schools or some special vocational school districts Regardless I think an explanation of the school graduation rate should be listed within Minneapolis Public Schools since they re the responsible school district and the data should be better qualified as to exactly which districts are selected within that sampling By the way within the same edit the editor asked for citations within the lead about Minneapolis having twenty lakes and wetlands and having a park within 1 2 mile of every house even though those facts are mentioned later in the article Elkspeak
