[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maury-Eliot/Hines-Eastern is now the trifecta?  What happened to make this such a winning combination?  This probably needs to be another blog.[/quote]

Why are pessimistic people so offended by optimism?  Full disclosure - I am super optimistic and positive.  I have high hopes for Eastern.  Brent and Maury are wonderful schools for most kids - have the people that dissed them stepped inside them in the past couple years?  Brent is sparkly clean and has incredibly commited, excited, energetic teachers.  My son's teacher's aid is a young man with a college degree.  Is it perfect?  Well, no it isn't, but I love it.  Maury is great too.  My MIL is a former teacher from a very highly regarded suburban district and she is very impressed by both schools - she has grandkids at both.  I have way more reservations about Eliot Hine and Jefferson, but so want to be proven wrong.  [/quote]

Okay, well then can you help me understand why the testing trends are so drastically down?
