[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] CMI is a public school and needs to move its students toward proficiency in the grade level standards. Tier 2 means they're doing ok at that. Not great, not awful.[/quote] All public schools do not need to fit into the same box. CMI families are happy. The families do not want CMI to move its students towards proficiency or grade-level standards. As you said, they aren't doing awful -- they are doing just fine on academics and that is fine. Meanwhile, they do great on all the extras: art, drama, music, Spanish, Chinese, gardening, and outdoor space/time (including extra recesses this year) that other schools lack and that no one "tests." Families that are looking for proficiency or grade-level standards (or a Tier 1 school) should look elsewhere and should expect to sacrifice the advantages of CMI for a less holistic environment. If you want the traditional "grade-level standards," there are a lot of schools that are already doing it.[/quote]
