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]

Enrollment is up 25% from last year. Yes, most of that jump was at the middle school level, since this is the first year where they actively sought out rising 6th graders from other elementary schools. But elementary enrollment is not shrinking, in fact it has also grown.

And where did you get your test score information? How do you know that test scores are going down? They have not released any test scores since the new administration took over the school. The test scores did go down quite significantly last year under the previous administration.[/quote]

In jan or feb at a school board meeting, J-H presented mid year test scores.  The tests were conducted internally.

And enrollment may be  up but it's still way under enrolled.[/quote]
