Too Long; Didn't Read

The Dropout Early Warning System (DEWS) assesses every incoming high schooler in Wisconsin. It issues a numerical score as well as a color-coded label: green for low risk, yellow for moderate risk, or red for high risk. Irrespective of race, DEWS is wrong nearly three quarters of the time when it predicts a student won't graduate on time.
