I would like to see that too. I'm interested to see if it has changed much. It seems to me, and maybe I'm just misunderstanding the system, that it is easier to graduate now than it was 20 years ago. My nephew is in high school and his freshman year he took 15 classes (5 per trimester) and failed 10 of them. He only had to make one of them up. He failed another 4 his sophomore year and yet they tell him he is on target to graduate without making them up or going to summer school.
When I was in high school in the 80's. If you failed any core class you had to retake it. You could fail a few electives and still graduate, but the number was maybe 1 per year. If you failed more than 4-5 classes total over the 4 years of high school you were not graduating unless you made them up.
