Stand and Deliver was made in 1988, so the facts at the end of the movie only show Garfield High School's pass rate for up to 1987. I was curious about what happened after that, and I found this article:

It's a bit long, but it details the success of his math program over the years and what happened to it. This article really shows the bureaucracy of education and what role district politics can play in education.
Thoughts?
