Where is the good news?

The good news is that this took care of a lot of the problems that plagued the school in 2011/12, when transitioning to a more student-centered environment and curriculum under brand new leadership that faced an excess of 50 students and not enough teachers. Eliot-Hine has it together, driven teachers, great team, fantastic IB coordinator, just an all around welcoming place to be. And I'm a fan of Mr. Birks, who runs EH radio station and teaches technology. And the fact of the matter is Eliot-Hine takes IB seriously, more so than Deal for instance. Students who come in with strong academics will be challenged at Eliot-Hine, I'm convinced of that and have done my part to check it out.

Not PP, I know, but whatever bitch is still bitching and race-baiting on these boards whenever EH floats to the top, girl, you're living in the past. Find yourself another past-time if watching TV all day bores you. Oh, and should you have forgotten since when you had kids that age, middleschoolers don't ride in strollers, they ride on bikes. Hope you're cool with that.

Oh, I should be honored to send my children there......NOT!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves or delude ourselves into thinking that a school where the majority of the students are reading below grade level is awesome. Yes, it may be a fine school 20 years from now. However, Eliot Hine is not even on the radar for most parents in this area.

Then why, tell me, is it so important to you to chime in here with nothing but disdain for those who look beyond the numbers and contemplate what's taking place in the classroom and how their very own child or children might do in the context before them? What is it you need to prove? I can't help but wonder.

If Eliot-Hine was depended on most parents then, it wouldn't be enough to keep the school viable. Where's that Wells lady, she was up there all the time, telling E-H what they needed to do?

Tommy has a pretty weak chin all right, but I don't think I'd call him a woman.

76% of students at EH are below grade level in reading, and that number has been going down.

But anonymous poster X wants to personally affirm that in one year EH turned it around and all of the sudden it's a great school? It's IB is taken more seriously than Deal - with 6% of its students scoring advanced in math? Really?!?

Oh, but you've really been in there and checked it all out. And you offer "driven teachers, great team, welcoming place" and other bromieds as compelling evidence that Hill folk should cast their lot with this urban school reform miracle?
