I suspected that the overall school ratings may not be the best indicator of the quality of special education instruction, so that’s good to know. The highest rated public school here in Westchester has a terrible reputation for IEP implementation, as they attempt to preserve test rankings by pushing students out of the classrooms.[/quote]
