52 passes on social studies grad exam

100 questions. You get 52 right, you graduate. (Assuming you pass the other test.) Hey, that's more than half, what do you expect? Doing "D" level work is hard! Most of the test is just US history, 1776-1945. I mean, that's almost 200 years! (169, for those of you who took math in Alabama public schools.) You can't expect to know enough about that large a slice of time to get two-thirds of the questions right!

55 percent of tenth-graders (who don't need to pass yet) passed the test. Fine job we're doing.
