Medgar Evers has a really low graduate rate after 6 years…

The following might explain why:

“general education core curriculum required”. What does this mean?

Many colleges/universities require you to take a certain number of core classes as a prerequisite to graduating. They may include one or two courses each in math, sciences, literature, writing, history, etc.

I believe admission rates depend on grades.

Largely, yes, but it also depends on test scores, HS course rigor, and sometimes recommendation letters and other factors.
