Well not dead last! That should count for something. There's still a distance to go. Check back next year. It's on a downward spiral and the bottom ain't far! Could make it down there by next year. Close Quote

The ratings for all the schools in this district are very low. Talented dedicated teachers can not compensate for a lousy district administration that went after every Inner city program possible to get the funding associated with failing schools. They essentially got paid to institute really terrible academic programs. That is true for the lower grades. They boast the IB program but fail to disclose the test scores earned by the kids. AP test scores tend to be 0, 1, 2and the kids do not do well in the IB tests either. The curriculum is not geared towards "teaching to the test" or learning either. Close Quote
