[quote=Anonymous]what makes a school decent to you? high test scores, differentiated classes, sports, music, modern buildings, attendance, discipline, kids making progress? Part of the issue is that I *don't* think elementary schools are "doing a good job" on a lot of these metrics. If a school has a kid from PK-5 and they get a 1 on the 6th grade PARCC, that's more a function of an elementary school's failure than a MS problem. Also a lot of the test score issues in MS come from changes in the student body from ES to MS--parents in older grades are willing to send their kids further from home and may also pull out of public for private schools if they have the means and/or motivation.
