[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newport Mill is in the red zone, fyi. Part of the issue there is that everyone is taught at the advanced level and the kids who can't handle the material are disruptive to the class. [/quote] red zone?[/quote] The county is divided into the red and green zones for schools. Red zone schools are historically underachieving, have high poverty rates, higher student mobility, and high numbers of ELL students. In MoCo, it breaks down into pretty geographically distinct regions, and under Jerry Weast they were named the red zone and green zone to provide differentiated treatment and funding. Red zone schools get more money, more supports, more federal funding, etc. to try and bring student performance up to those in green zone schools. A lot of that funding, however, has been cut during this recession. http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/leadingforequity/pdf/HarvardCase-DifferientiatedTreatment.pdf[/quote]
