Struggling California high school is undergoing successful turnaround
Pasadena, Calif., school officials are seeing a notable turnaround at John Muir High School after a schoolwide reorganization into four academies. Gains on state tests over the past two years have allowed the school to exit state monitoring for low performance. While officials say there is still work to be done, other improvements at the school include fewer absences, more participation in sports and more students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses.
