[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher and curriculum sound terrible, OP. What sort of standardized testing score does this school have? What's their reputation like?

You might have to switch schools, and in the meantime, get your kid some reading comprehension workbooks over the summer.

By all accounts and measures, the school is supposed to be great. 10/10 GS, top 100 elementary in the state, wealthy district, math and reading test  results are always 68-80% on grade level or higher. Very few economically disadvantaged kids, virtually 0% ELL.

Thinking about it more… I guess compared to a school with a similar passage rate but more ELL and more FARMS kids, you could say the other school is better, since you’d expect some of the failing scores would be in Reading ELL and kids in wealthy areas like ours usually have parents pushing kids enough to pass.

Or did DD just get a bad teacher? Can a mediocre teacher one year lead to this much of a drop with no other red flags?[/quote]
