[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twain, Hughes, South County are all MS AAP centers with less than 300 kids.  Glasgow is an example of a low-regarded/low scoring/high FARMS MS with an AAP center that still has 375+ kids... and they are doing well (based on test scores).

Facts... not scare tactics.

Jackson was on par with Kilmer and Thoreau. Now you are comparing it to Glasgow which is a 3 rated school. What point are you trying to make? That there are other middle schools that will still be worse than Jackson? I agree, but it doesn't take away from the fact that before this change, all three middle schools were equally well regarded. Holmes does not have a LLIV program does it? It just has the middle years program. Glasgow pulls from 11 elementary schools that then branch off into two high schools. So each group of AAP kids have at least 5 other elementary feeders that will go onto the same high school. If Holmes were to start an AAP center, I bet Glasgow would  decline even below the 3 great schools rating it is now.[/quote]

So, to be clear, this is just about losing bragging rights.[/quote]
