Being on the list meant that schools were in trouble and had to come up with in-depth plans for improving things and about 70 schools have improved enough to get off it, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported.

The city’s middle school, however, despite undertaking a new literacy initiative, is still deemed a “priority” and remains on the list, the Poughkeepsie Journal story said.
