[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw the colleges the grads of HB went to last year and I wasn't super impressed.  Are we sure it is a good school?[/quote]

I would like to see this and other HB stats.  The one thing HB has is its very tiny size.  Other than that it's a bit frustrating that on information nights etc. parents are always told that the actual statistics are mixed in with the "origin" high schools of each student.  Or has this changed?[/quote]

All HB stats have always been mixed with the home schools, because HB is technically not a school. I’ve never seen the data separated. [/quote]

The data should be pulled out for evaluation purposes, even if not for official school stats or reporting. If we're going to pay to operate a special/option program, the results of that program should be made clear so that its value and justification can be evaluated.[/quote]

Adding: if APS isn't willing to do this, then I suspect it's because the outcomes are not anything special relative to the other comprehensive schools. APS will cite an inability to do this due to current reporting systems and/or limited staff resources. But I cannot believe it does not have basic information like classes taken, GPAs, and test scores of its students.[/quote]

Or it could the outcomes are so much better they don’t want to fan the inequity between the programs even hotter.

They could have expanded Hb to 1000 students, on a site that had been planned for 1500 neighborhoods middle school, and still been tiny compared to neighborhood high schools. [/quote]
