SEATTLE (AP) — In a story April 17 about high school graduation in Washington state, The Associated Press reported incorrect numbers concerning test results, in part because of misleading information from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
About 9,100 students — not 6,500 students — in the class of 2013 have not yet fulfilled the math testing requirement. About 5,300 — not 5,800 — also need to pass a writing or reading test, or both. Those who have passed the math test but still need reading and writing number 778 not 3,700.
