New rules in school for detail as follow.
For most Americans, the promise of upward mobility has been achieved by the "thorough and efficient system of education" guaranteed to every child through the New Jersey Constitution. In Trenton today, that promise is snatched away from youngsters by the poor quality of public schooling. That quality is on stark display in the Report Card for the Trenton Central High School (TCHS) published annually by the state Department of Education. It shows that:

A 60 percent of students drop out of TCHS between the ninth and 12th grades;

A 55 percent of the remaining students test below the state standard for proficiency in reading;

A 78 percent of those remaining students test below the state standard for proficiency in mathematics; and

A only 36 percent of seniors pass the High School Proficiency Assessment for graduation.
