Texas high school delays graduation, since only 5 seniors make the grade -
The school district’s audit, taken May 18, looked into attendance, grades and credits of the 33 students in the school’s traditional program; five students in an alternative education program were not audited.
“They told us that because of the students that didn’t meet the requirements it wouldn’t be fair for only five students to walk the stage,” Alondra Alvarado, one of five seniors who met requirements, told KWTX-TV, a Waco CBS affiliate.“We hold firm to our belief that every student in Marlin ISD can and will achieve their potential. We maintain high expectations, not as an imposition, but as a show of faith in our students’ abilities.
As of Wednesday, 17 of 38 students had made up what was needed in order to graduate. By Thursday, that number had jumped to 25 of 38 total seniors at Marlin High School.
