[quote=Anonymous]Yes, WHERE DO these racist ideas come from????

Well, take a look at the school profiles for "Safe and Secure" tab.  Then compare Jackson MS to other middle schools -- including those that have higher percentages of minorities (compare to Hughes, Hayfield MS, Twain, Glasgow, Key and Poe).  Then tell me about these crazy "racist" rumors.

And then go ahead and compare those "Safe and Secure" numbers to schools like Irving, Lake Braddock MS, South County MS, or Franklin.

Sure, a student could have a good experience there.  It probably depends a lot on who your child has for classmates.  Anecdotally, there are bound to be many positive experiences as there would be at any MS.  Statistics are just numbers.  But, given a choice, one might prefer schools that have lower behavioral numbers and higher test numbers.  If that is where you already live and there is a high cost to moving -- then the cost/benefit analysis might be different.    Are you already in the zone or are you looking to buy into the zone -- those are two different baselines.[/quote]
