There is no bar anymore. The 10% that aren't graduating are the kids that literally don't even show up to school. If a kid is at least at school half the time, they'll graduate. Don't even need to do anything, just being there is enough. Kids are "graduating" with actual GPAs <1.

    It would be extremely difficult to graduate with a GPA less than 1. A 1 represents a D, so anyone graduating with a less than 1 would have to fail at least one class, and get a D in every other class. There is a minimum number of credits required to graduate, so failing multiple classes while still graduating is very difficult
