A former student is suing a school system after he says he graduated with a 3.4 GPA but is unable to read or even spell his own name.
The student, who is referred to as “William A.” in the lawsuit, did not receive a “compensatory education” from the Clarksville Montgomery County School System, according to a ruling by the judge.
“William A. is dyslexic and graduated from high school with a 3.4 grade-point average. Yet even then he could not read. The school now challenges an order that it provides him with compensatory education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. We affirm the order,” the ruling states.
In 2023, the parents of the student said that the school system failed to provide their son with a free appropriate public education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
