[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most embarrassing is HB Woodlawn at 12%. There’s no reason for that to be lower than the county average. [/quote]

Here we go again with the HB bashing.  We get it.  Your kid didn’t get in and you’re jealous.  I’ll bet your kid doesn’t qualify for reduced price meals either.  [/quote]

DP.  Look around you at where that school is located and the resources it takes to run it.  If the best you can come up with is “you’re jealous,” you need to take a moment and really reflect.[/quote]

What does this mean?  It's in the location nobody else wanted to send their kid to...[/quote]

It’s located walking distance from hundreds of affordable housing units and other kinds of multi-family housing.  It should draw more than 12 percent.  If the application process doesn’t result in a student population more reflective of the county population, then the application process needs to change.  If the program can’t serve a population more reflective of our county, then the program needs to change.  There’s no good reason why an option high school in a public school system should be so out of sync with the demographics of the entire county student population.[/quote] the lack of sports and hours are quite limiting for many families. As a rising middle school parent I am thinking about whether  my kid will be good to get himself out the door for a 9am start time while I’m working. Other middle schools start times  make that a moot point. If we had younger siblings at home that needed to be picked up or watched the HB schedule wouldn’t work either. [/quote]
Also more difficult to work after school if you get out at 3:50[/quote]
