Which schools are "Dropout Factories"?

ABC 27 Harrisburg, ABC 6 Philadelphia, Carlisle Sentinel, Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Philadelphia Daily News and others have all had stories about "Dropout Factories" - i.e. schools where less than 60% of incoming freshmen graduate.

I finally found some of the raw data: you can click the links to view the interactive map with "Dropout Factories" by state. or download the full list of "dropout factories" (and here are data notes).

Also, ScrappleFace has an interesting take: Teachers Union Touts Productivity of ‘Dropout Factories’
