[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]these reports of UMC white kids bring left to fend for themselves and a nonexistent PTA are purely anecdotal and likely quite dated. My “UMC white” kid attended JH from 2014 to 2018 and was not left to fend for himself. And the PTA was incredibly active. I remain in touch with friends on the PTA and it remains just as active. As for accreditation, that’s based on test scores, which don’t show the full picture of whether learning is occurring. My kid was reading well above grade level and performing above grade level on math when we moved from JH this academic year. It’s difficult to do well on tests when you are living in a hotel with your grandmother and three siblings and don’t know when your next meal will be or you share a one bedroom apartment with your siblings, parents, and a few other adults. As long as the FARM rates remain high at JH - in large part because middle class families flee the school - the test scores will be low and accreditation will be difficult to attain.  So, no JH is not a joke. Try being a part of the solution rather than the problem. Give the new JH a try.[/quote]

No thanks. My kid isn't a guinea pig. [/quote]
