Graduation rates at 47 new small public high schools that have opened since 2002 are substantially higher than the citywide average, an indication that the Bloomberg administration’s decision to break up many large failing high schools has achieved some early success.
2002年起（纽约）新创办的47所小型公立高中，毕业率明显高于全市平均水平。迹象表明，布伦伯格行政部门“小型高中撼动大型高中”举措，已经初见成效。
Most of the schools have made considerable advances over the low-performing large high schools they replaced. Eight schools out of the 47 small schools graduated more than 90 percent of their students. One campus of small schools at the old Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, for example, reported a 92 percent four-year graduation rate this month. In 2002, 40 percent of its students graduated.
很多小型学校，跟大型学校的日薄西山相比，取得了相当可观的进步，并有取代之势。47所小型高中中的8所，毕业率超过了90%。比如说，布鲁克林（美国纽约西南部的一个区）的老伊拉兹马斯·霍尔学校内2002年变身为一所小型高中，这个月公布的报告说它的毕业率高达92%，而在2002年只有40%。
