This was part of the Obama agenda

I remember reading the stuff way back when, in essence it was to desegregate the white neighborhoods forcefully by importing minorities into our neighborhoods and towns

You are seeing those plans in action. Ben Carson kept it at bay as much as possible

We have been absolutely covered up with them in Newton County over the last several years.

Many from our neighborhood initially gave us the cold shoulder for moving our kid… you know… the kind that get the tingly feeling when they think they are fighting for social justice by sending their kids to a shiatty school.

A couple weeks in, we started getting asked about open enrollment. Eventually, all but one family that I recall had moved their kid to another elementary school or to private school.

How can a teacher succeed in a room full of non-English speakers? Because my wife is a teacher, I can tell you another fun fact for these imports besides language is they don’t potty train their kids like Americans. It’s a real curry shiat fest.

Did all the administrators and teachers move in those 4-5 years? You didn’t mention any metric or quantification of “great elementary school”, so it’s hard to understand why you left the school. I know all the new school “ranking” sites use graduation rate and test scores as qualitative metrics but those are laughably bad measures of quality. All test scores and graduation rates predict is the income of the parents of the schools. What you need to look at is the difference in graduation rate and test scores for your child’s base test score and your income bracket. That is where you find the value in schools. Too often parents blindly look at a school’s mean graduation rate and test scores and write off a school. They then enroll their child in a school, while having higher mean values for those metrics, actually performs worse at improving test scores and graduation rate for your child.

TLDR

We visited the school. It wasn’t for us. Test scores are test scores. Free lunch % is a metric. Transience is transience. The focus is on lowest common denominator.

See my other post. It’s not a good school. We read the tea leaves properly.
