[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. I was so down yesterday about not my child not getting into a specialty school. The good news is my local school is pretty decent-Bond Mill, but I feel horrible for parents and students who are zoned to a mediocre school. I think we also need to be more aware of our measures for success. A large immigration population will bring test scores down. This doesn't mean that they are not smart, it just means that they may not be good test takers in a foreign language.[/quote] Our local elementary school is great but it is FULL of English Language Learners. They are doing a fantastic job but it is not a good fit for non-ELLs. My child was one of 2 native speakers of English in her first grade class. She did fine, but it was clear that the school could not continue to meet her needs as their focus was obviously elsewhere.[/quote]
