| Not sure I would say it that way if you do "land" there - In most of those schools faculty, staff and parents are already working hard to progress. |

Do you mean by moving there? I would not count on getting in anywhere in the lottery anymore, too many kids in the pool across the city. |

| See the "apathetic" etc recent threads for what to say and not to say. "Turn around" not so much.... |

I'm assuming the OP means schools that are underrated/less known therefore easier to get into. |

| Thomson has always had a reasonable chance of being a successful school. It was never a disaster, but it was in a static space. Frankly what Thomson needs is a good neighborhood community center that could provide family supports. The parents there want to help their kids, but they need help. |

Excellent parent programs in place, including English language class for parents, Zumba, computer seminars, class level dialogues and school wide parent meetings |
