[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am OP - incidentally, I am on the CARD mailing list. I do hope that does something. We don't want to move, but we would love it if the school got better before our kid gets there. It was better when we bought here and has since gone down hill from the report cards I can see on DOE. Something changed and I wondered if the rumors of what had happened elsewhere were true and if so what recourse I would have. I would rather stay here and have the school improve, but our kid's education comes first. [/quote]

Which report card are you looking at, and what is it based on? If it's just SOL scores, don't worry about it.

If you've visited the school and it set off your Spidey sense, that's a different (as in real) problem.[/quote]

SOL's shouldn't be ignored. They aren't the only piece of the puzzle, but at these high esol/farms schools - SOL prep is the focus. What do you want your child's day to look like?
It's also been said up thread, but bears repeating- the middle class scores have gone down in some of these schools and they are often below their SES peers on the north side. 
I think the county really doesn't want to discuss this, but it's a problem.[/quote]
