The Dean's List - Are We Failing Our Children - Part 2
by Dean


What is the Rochester City School District Hiding From You?

Did you know that only 30% of Senior's in the Rochester City School District graduate from high school?

Did you know that students in the district get 35 points for signing their name on the top of the standardized math test?

Did you know that the only curriculum that is taught in the classroom is that of the items that are included on the standardized test?

Did you know that keeping a child back a grade because they are not performing up to par can hurt funding by the state to the City School District?

SAT Scores:

State Mean - Reading - 491
State Mean - Math - 505
State Mean - Writing - 482

(Mean below are averages of Rochester City School District Only)

City Mean - Reading - 370
City Mean - Math - 380
City Mean - Writing - 370

Did you know that the State Education Department doesn't ask the schools to teach from the SAT test, because they said it is not that important?

Did you know that most colleges and universities STILL require applicants to provide SAT scores?

Did you know that the truancy center averages 4 kids a day that are sent to the center? Since I see them hanging out all over the city everyday, can't someone else see them too?

Did you know - I have a headache again?!
