[quote=Anonymous]amidon-bowen is 2% white and 99% farms. It has a nice playground and library, but test scores are still super low (44% below basic in math; 33% below basic in reading). The PTA has a very motivated and energetic leader and there are some cool things going on (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar visiting for one) and some nice teachers, parents, and students. But it is going to be a very very high poverty school with a majority of kids years below grade level for a long time. I live nearby and definitely observe more swearing, shoving, tardiness, and 8am junk food eating/littering than I'd hope for. There would have to be a significant turnaround in school discipline (a lot of what I'm describing happens in view of staff!) to make it an option for me...otherwise even the kids who want to learn will be impeded by the really disruptive ones.[/quote]
