> I don't think theres a school district in the country that will advance a kid with a 50% average to the next grade.

You’d be wrong to assume that. Here’s a kid that made it to 12th grade having only ever passed 4 classes. 0.13 GPA, and that actually put him in the top 50% of his class. Things are much, much worse than you think.
