Under the Public Education Grant program, students at those schools may transfer to another school either in the district or any neighboring district that agrees to accept them. Schools on the list had to have 50 percent or more of their students fail the state exam in two of the last three years. They also made the list with an “improvement required” rating in either of the last two years.
