Yeah, appprox 17k sounds more appropriate. Some of the facts aren't real clear though. I was trying to figure out what the real figure on the rest of the students was. I knew the other student figures excepting the 23 schools would be higher than 7%. But the article didn't make it clear that the 7% was for the remaining 123 schools, not for the total 150 schools.I read it as 2000 students in the 23 referenced schools took the math test. There are 150 schools in Baltimore.
