[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my view, it's a good place for children with special needs, but mainly for reasons that are not academic. You don't have to love the place, as you can sense from these threads, you'll find a lot of upbeat defensive parents at CMI, who aren't helping the cause that much. The school is pretty new and, I think, needs a stronger focus on teaching core skills, the shaky test scores are probably here to stay unless CMI improves its teaching in reading and math. [/quote] I didn't get the sense that special needs kids are the focus of the school and I wouldn't be surprised if fewer parents of SN Kids specifically seek the school out for that purpose. The principal made no mention of that as a focus, it was all about IYP curriculum etc. I would guess at the school continues to skew more high SES every year, the diversity in race and special needs will also likely drop but the scores will go up.[/quote]
