[quote=Anonymous]OP, before completely condemning your friend, ask why she feels the way she does. Test levels for reading and math are only at 60%, as compared to 90% for Janney. I would assume that would mean that the teachers will spend a good amount of time working with the 40% of students who are not at grade level, leaving the rest of the class who is at grade level not learning up to their potential because of the diverted teacher time. Wouldn't the test scores alone give you at least some pause-- especially if you had the means to send your children elsewhere? Of course, test scores are not everything, but I think they are a valid factor to consider when choosing a school that is the best fit for your child. And the fact is that only 20% of in-bounds Hearst families send their kids there, so your friend is certainly not alone in her thinking.[/quote]
