[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:11 Could that possibly be related to the demographics of the two schools?  In math 10 3rd graders failed at Haycock while 6 did at Lemon Road.  Haycock was 4% free or reduced fees and 7% Limited English Proficiency.  Lemon Road was 26% free or reduced fees and 23% LEP.  Might those numbers affect the percentages passing the SOLs?  Luther Jackson MS, which has a great AAP center, had 28% of its 7th graders fail the math SOL last year with 41% of its population getting free or reduced fees and 27% being LEP.  Clearly demographics of the student population affect pass rates.[/quote]

exactly you need to take a look at the demographics at the schools.  LRES has a completely different ratio of Free/reduced lunch, ESOL and special ed. In addition, one other thing that is not well known, there area a number of students already at Lemon Road that qualified for AAP, could have gone to Haycock AND choose to keep their children at Lemon Road because of the quality of education, the teachers, small class size and the family community that the school has to offer.  Every child at Lemon Road has a name and is not just a number.  The school is already a great place to be, with a well established PTA and is welcoming to all. Just ask any pupil placed family and the families from Freedom Hill that joined us in September.  We welcome everyone.  Lemon Road's base community wants one community not a community divided..  please do not try and create one.  [/quote]
