[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is about a 30%-40% difference in math and reading proficiency scores between Fields road and the Wootton cluster elementary schools.

Why do you think this is? I will tell you why-parent engagement. Many of the lower performing elementary schools have parents that are working multiple jobs, The kids are left alone sometimes for extended periods. Academics takes a back seat. Not saying they have full control over this but this is the reality.

I love how some of you think these kids will magically become high performers when moved to Crown. I’m sure they already had great teachers who tried to push them to achieve. Unless you have a ton of internal motivation that simply doesn’t work. [/quote]

Then as a perfect person, you can step in and help these kids be high achievers.  Let’s be real, there are kids from the desirable parents who aren’t high achievers bringing scores down.  So, by these statements those kids should be immediately transferred and not allowed at Wootton.

Who ever is posting makes Wootton look like a really bad school, though the reality is it’s only one or a handful of people.   So, what happens if your kid or grandkid has special needs or a learning disability?   Are they cast out as they aren’t achieving up to your standards?   And, what are your kids goals and sat scores?   What classes do they take?   Highest math achieved?[/quote]
