[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roosevelt isn't all sci-tech. There is a regular or "comprehensive" program as well. So both programs play into the Great Schools score. Also, the student populations at Roosevelt and Bowie are significantly higher than 900 students.

I have two children in the public school system in PG. There are some good teachers, many average and quite a few bad. Same goes for administrators. The house needs to be cleaned, and more energetic and competent teachers and administrators need to be brought here. [/quote]

1st school posted has 1500+ kids the 2nd has over 2000. Neither is a magnet school and yet both out test our best magnet/comprehensive programn. If u  look at other States like GA, ILL etc they have several schools with similar demographics that would be in the 8-10 range in MD[/quote]

Ok, I hear you. But what can we do? My youngest is in our zone school and is struggling in honors math, despite having a tutor. He does well in his other honors courses. The school's only responses are that he needs to take responsibility for his education, that only he is to blame and not the teacher, and that maybe he needs to leave honors. However, the school says he is doing too well to have a 504 plan (he has ADHD) or to have testing. This school rates as a 5. If I could afford private or a move to a better school, I would. [/quote]

Wow sorry to hear that. Have you tried a "transfer"?[/quote]

I did last year, got it and he really wanted to stay at his current school. Plus, with transfers, transportation is not provided. So I let him stay. If I can, I will apply for a transfer again and make that work if it is approved. [/quote]
