However, the school returned him to the 9th grade. His mother pulled him out of that school, and placed him in another one that she hopes would be a better fit.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>France expressed frustration with the school, asking why her son would have to complete three more years of high school after &#8220;the school failed him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>France&#8217;s son failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days over his first three years of high school. Only one teacher requested a parent-teacher conference, but France said that didn&#8217;t happen. Despite this, her son still ranked 62nd in his class out of 120 total students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that&#8217;s the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn&#8217;t deserve that,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>FOX 45 found that hundreds of students are flunking classes at the Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in west Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>France says she has three children and works three jobs, and didn&#8217;t realize her son was failing until February. Even though he was failing classes, the school continued to promote him; after failing Spanish I and Algebra I, for example, the school still allowed him to take Spanish II and Algebra II.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just assuming that if you are passing, that you have the proper things to go to the next grade and the right grades, you have the right credits,&#8221; France told FOX 45.<\/p>\n<p>She continued: &#8220;I feel like they never gave my son an opportunity, like if there was an issue with him, not advancing or not progressing, that they should have contacted me first, three years ago.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Two of the three classes were passed with a &#8220;D&#8221;.
