[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The goal isn't to reduce the number of OOB students at A-B, but rather to get as many students as possible into a school where they can learn. A-B doesn't seem to be working well for many of its students. Maybe Van Ness would be an improvement for some of them.[/quote] There is nothing wrong with Amidon-Bowen as a school. The problem with test scores and whatever else that determines whether a school is successful or not is not because of the school, teachers or curriculum. The issue lies in the type of students attending the schools and the families they come from. Ask yourself this question. If every student from Brent Elementary School went to Amidon-Bowen, and every Amidon-Bowen student went to Brent Elementary School, would Amidon-Bowen Elementary School still be considered a "bad" school, and would Brent Elementary School still be considered a "good" school?[/quote]
