Failure Factory is a searing exposé of the Baltimore City Public Schools system, where investigative journalist Chris Papst uncovers how one of America’s most funded school districts consistently ranks among the lowest performing. Drawing from eight years of reporting, Papst reveals how bureaucratic priorities have shifted from student success to data manipulation and financial gain. With chilling examples of grade inflation, erased disciplinary records, and inflated graduation rates, the book asks: are students failing school—or are schools failing students? A wake-up call for communities nationwide, Failure Factory warns that this troubling trend isn't isolated to Baltimore.
