[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Synopsis of this thread: if you REALLY want to send your kid to the middle school in your immediate neighborhood OR got shut out of all other options, you can probably justify to yourself that it's going to be okay. It might require you to dismiss some and/or all of the objective indicators available.[/quote]

EH parent here. No, what I’m saying is that the “objective indicators,” which were pretty much just PARCC, ended up being a small part of the picture. [/quote]

How about chronic absenteeism? Incidences of violence? I'm sure we'll hear soon about how those stats don't actually mean anything either.[/quote]

The school is really calm. Absenteeism is an issue as it is at most schools. It may be relatively higher at EH due to the self-contained classroom. And FWIW it’s not that hard to get to 18 days that counts as chronic absentee - we almost hit that with 1 bout of covid, 1 flu, and some colds and drs appointments. [/quote]

You are insane!  18 days is 10% of the school year and it is completely unacceptable.[/quote]
