~50% of all Americans over 65 years old are functionally illiterate.
Maybe they can't see very well over 65

~60% of Urban School Children do not graduate from High School. Forty percent of those who do read at only a 4th grade level.
That's probably why they flunked out of High School

~64% of 12th graders never make it to the proficiency level.
"the proficiency level"? What is the proficiancy level mean?

How about this statistic..... 95% of all statistics are pure crap, easily manipulated by changing and obscuring the parameters of the point in question. As was once said..."There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics"
