25% in the Bottom Quartile

For people that doubted that our education system was struggling as much as I said, see for yourself. A whopping 25% of American students in the bottom quartile on standardized tests First Quartile Median Third Quartile 25% 25% 25% 25%

A tweet shows a bell-curve chart while claiming that 25% of American students are in the bottom quartile on standardized tests. The joke is that exactly one quarter of any normally divided group must fall in the bottom quartile, exposing the statement as misleading statistical framing. It is shared as a sarcastic reaction to bad arguments or deceptive statistics.
