In this Tuesday, March 9, 2010 photo, former student Ashley Delgado, left, stands with a sign next to Joe Clavin outside Central Falls high school in Central Falls, R.I.  Instructors and staff will be fired after the end of the school year in a desperate move to improve student performance at the school. The firings were provoked by dismal student performance: In 2009, fewer than half of its students graduated within four years. And standardized tests last fall showed just 7 percent of eleventh graders passing math, 33 percent passing writing and 55 percent proficient in reading. The school educates just over 1,000 students. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)AP - Ashley Delgado graduated from one of Rhode Island's worst-performing high schools and wanted to go to college — if only she could get there.
