There's a problem in Portsmouth, VA!!!!

There is an apparent problem in Portsmouth, VA. The is problem is at Woodrow Wilson High school where 4 out of 10 students repeat the ninth grade causing many of them to be high school dropouts. This school come in second to Petersburg High school in central Virginia. This school suffers from a trend in American high schools call the "ninth grade bulge". This occurs when students enter the ninth grade and don't pass the first time. Ninth grade has been the place where most students decide on whether they are goingto be high school droputs or not. This problem occurs in urban high school settings where students come from non traditional low income homes. Someone needs to help these kids becasethey are Americas future and it's not fair no matter what school school students go to they need to be encouraged to go further with their education. Who's going to save their souls?
