Statewide, 5.1 percent of students failed the test this year. Jefferson High School students had the lowest local failure rate at 3.7 percent, which was also better than last year’s results of 4.3 percent for the school.
Doing worse than the state average this year was Jackson County Comprehensive High School which had a failure rate of 8.3 percent and Commerce High School which had a failure rate of 10.8 percent.

Yes, but 8.3% still failed. You cannot ignore that because you don't like it.
