[quote=Anonymous]They need to put the levels of focus and resources to improving middle schools equivalent to what they put into developing and expanding the quality early childhood programs they have rolled out throughout the city. The inability of the city’s middle schools to prepare students for rigorous high school is not news. Lowering the bar for high school admissions in isolation is not the answer. I have a 9th grader at Walls. It is no walk in the park even for very strong students that did extremely well in middle school. Students that cannot score a proficient grade in ELA and math, not even advanced math, may be frustrated and not be well served at SWW without targeted support. What about some sort of bridge program for motivated but academically struggling students to get academic support with a track the feeds into the application schools? [/quote]
