[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Plus Jefferson still looms around the corner.[/quote]

I wouldn't exactly fear that, if you compare it to other schools. The principal is great, and the school is scheduled to be renovated in 2016.

Jefferson has 99% FARMs, but 63% of the kids are proficient/advanced in math.  45% in reading.

Hardy has 67% of kids proficient/advanced in math and 62% in reading, with only 55% of the kids eligible for FARMs.
Stuart-Hobson has about the same FARMs rate as Hardy and 64% proficiency in both math and reading.

It will be interesting to see how Jefferson does in the 2014 CAS results (and it looks like there's room for improvement on reading in particular), but it seems to be doing really well.  It also has a higher in-boundary student population than Hardy or S-H.  If you compare the student progress year-to-year, Jefferson actually does better than either of these schools.  It's close to Deal on some measures of progress and outperforms them on others.
