What I can't find in he report is what happens if they don't make the benchmarks. Nothing? So why bother with benchmarks.

[b]Worse the scores took a huge dip last year.[/b] [/quote]

Which is why they changed the principal and made all of the other changes to instruction spelled out in the Superintendent's brief attached to that report.[/quote]

They hired a principal who went to Regent (the Pat Robertson radical-right religious college).  Even long-time JH loyalist parents have pulled their kids.  JH enrollment at the elementary level is proportionally shrinking, believe it or not.  Test scores are going down (even further), not up.  These all result from the intentional segregation decision ('99) and the more recent actions of the current school board.  [/quote]

I'm sorry to read this. A shrinking elementary student body in a massive school. Not good.

How do you think the planned IB program will work out at JH, pp? What's your take on it. And thanks for your comment.[/quote]

It appears that this year, they have had the largest student body to date in quite a few years.  But yes, there mid term score reports weren't very good. I will not be surprised if they don't meet the benchmarks but I guess it doesn't matter because if they don't, nothing happens.[/quote]
