[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Large EOTP non-charter High Schools scraping the barrel bottom with math scores in the 0% - 3% range.

Ballou: 5% / 2%
Cardoza: 13% / 4%
Dunbar: 16% / 0%
Eastern: 25% / 0%

Why isn't this the #1 story in the city?

Why is ballou still operating as a regular public school?  Less than 2% at grade level?  How can these even be valid diplomas?[/quote]

I don't even know what this means.  It is operating as a school that provides a lot more services than a regular school.

FYI one time they had a contractor run Dunbar for a few years and the results were terrible.  Charters do no better when they have to serve all residents and can't push out the difficult kids.[/quote]

It’s true, all you’re saying here is this is how little learning can happen when 90% of your students are at risk.[/quote]

The term "at risk" seems to be used as an explanation as to why learning doesn't happen. If we were to double click on it, we'd find many factors and symptoms and behaviors. For some of these kids, doesn't it include disruptive and deviant behavior that prevents others from learning? Which is to say, my heart goes out to the homeless child who has few resources, unsupportive parents, yet a desire to behave and learn, but less so to the kid who acts out and wrecks the class for everyone else.
