Hold it. Let get this straight--NOBODY has to take vouchers.
Also they are only giving them to kids of failing public schools. They are behind when they leave. You can't take a 7th graders from a failing public school and send him to the 8th grade in a private school and expect him in one year to score like the rest of the students.
Why aren't they closing those D and F government schools they FORCE families to use?
What pisses you people off the most is that PARENTS want these vouchers.
Typical of the education bureaucracy you ignore the whole story:
They are not even testing the entire school just the kids that came from failing government schools.
DeVoss is right in video--the Louisiana system of vouches is lacking--IT IS LACKNG BECAUSE VOUCHERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ALL FAMILIES and all schools are not available to all students.

You can throw a trillion dollars a year at public schools and nothing will change. Sure, they might have better facilities and what not, but the parents are still going to be the parents when the kid comes home. Parents that don't care = kids who don't care.

You cannot send these kids to school for 7 hours a day and then send them home for the other 17 hours and expect that to fix the problem. The problem resides at home and they have to fix themselves. Giving more money to schools won't fix the problem but it could help some, maybe.
I know your post was scarcasm, just wanted to get my 2cents in. Sad, really.

I just received an email from the principal:
We are once again an A rated school and the number 1 school and middle school in the district. The only middle schools in the state scoring higher than us were selective entry schools.
Highlights and Trends:
? Ranked #1 middle school in Ascension parish
? Ranked #1 SCHOOL in Ascension parish
? Ranked #1 middle school in the state with non-selective entry
? 76% of our students scored Mastery and above on LEAP
? Top Gains and Equity Honoree two years in a row

It is really remarkable how well Orleans Parish is doing since they got rid of government run schools.
It's a good situation. Charter schools have a lot of freedom, but if they don't perform, they are shut down.

LA requires each kid to take it at school. That's only once. The kid may take it other times and get better scores.
And how do you compare it to Texas?

Correct. The schools that seem to take them are the ones that are struggling to convince parents that they are good enough to justify paying tuition.

No, but I expect him to score better than the school in which he came from.

D isn't failing. If a school gets an F four times, it gets moved to the RSD, which is basically a takeover, or it gets shut down. 4 years is probably too long. I'd like to see that go to 2 years.

I support anyone that wants to move their kid out of a bad school. However, moving them to a private school that is just as bad, if not worse, with MY and YOUR tax dollars, isn't the answer.

That was a huge mistake.

This is dumb. There are plenty of kids that have no intention of going on to any kind of secondary education. Why lower the average score for the entire school?

Where can I find the racial makeup of the schools on that list.

Greatschools.org has that information
Also, the state report cards usually have it as well, but it looks like they haven't loaded that information in yet for the past school year (which the grades are based off of).

I don't know what IB is talking about.
I can tell you that the high performing private/Catholic schools use "means to pay" as a filter. There's a reason why Catholic High, Jesuit, etc don't accept vouchers.

I think that the unfortunate truth is that in large parts of the state, the middle class and a lot of the upper working class has ceded the public schools to impoverished and unmotivated groups.
You can't really blame the parents that do this - everyone is going to do the best for their own children - but I think it is one of the factors torpedoing the public system.
I'd like to see the stats on what percentage of students in the high performing areas attend public school and what percentage of students in the low performing areas attend public school.

I guess Zachary should ask the state not to include the school system since the same 8 people complain every year about us having less schools than their district. Usually it’s little brother Livingston schools patrons.

Live Oak High still rocking an A. I believe it was highly rated when I graduated there (2007) and it was a shite fest compared to where I previously went to school.
