Ten of more than 30 Dallas ISD high schools have missed the federal academic bar so many times that they are in the worst stage of the national No Child Left Behind school rating system. They represent a third of the schools from Texas that are in such dire shape.

No Child Left Behind is being debated in Washington, and the Obama administration is proposing a rewrite of the law that changed the landscape for public schools across America. It demanded that students pass annual reading and math tests, regardless of race and socioeconomic backgrounds, and required dramatic overhauls at high-poverty schools where students repeatedly failed.

Ten Dallas ISD high schools are in the worst stage of failure under the national rating system called No Child Left Behind. Schools reach so-called Stage 5 by repeatedly failing to pass state tests or other standards used to judge schools. Schools can fail subject-area standards if too few students participate or if too few students pass the tests. Here are DISD's Stage 5 high schools and their problem areas.
