[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly concerned about Lee for my black children. Mission is to close the opportunity/achievement gap, website covered in faces of black students, PARCC scores show 0% black students as meeting expectations in Math. ZERO compared to almost 70% for their white counterpart. Only 13% for ELA compared to 50% for white students. They are also the driving force between the "Sojourner Truth School." Is this only scary to me? [b]Are my children safe?[/b] Is this white saviorism at its most dangerous? [/quote]

Yes, Lee seems to be a safe place. Will your child be well-educated? Perhaps. Much of that depends on the school but it also depends on you. Keep in mind that Lee is still a relatively new school. Their first school year was 2014-15. They don't seem to have figured out educating all students yet in a way that shows great results on PARCC. Lee's PARCC results for black children are below average but so is Lee's performance for white children. There are other reasons that parents choose Lee than test scores.[/quote]
