More than 3,600 students in the Rochester school system are not making the grade, especially on state tests that measure their skills in reading and math.

In Rochester, more than 3,000 students are not achieving proficiency on standard testing. Tom Overlie reports on how what the district is doing to close the 'opportunity gap' for so many students.
