Only half of the city's high school freshmen make it to graduation day four or five years later, though the rate has inched up from 47% in 2001 to 52.7% in 2005, according to city figures. Last year 48% of Chicago's graduating seniors enrolled in college in the fall, according to the National Student Clearing House. Raising graduation rates, reducing the dropout numbers and ensuring college readiness - particularly among poor and minority students...
