I'm a fan of charter schools but these MEAP scores tell a pretty sad story.
Grade 7
Reading 60% have not met standards
Writing 86.7% have not met standards
Math 86.7% have not met standards
There doesn't seem to much educating going on at Tri-Valley
Too bad the Chronicle chose to keep these scores out of the article.
Tri-Valley's leaders lash out
"Tri-Valley board President Nelson Miller said GVSU's actions amounted to lack of support for Tri-Valley's low-income and minority children. Miller said he plans to report GVSU's charter schools office to the university's vice president for inclusion and equity.
'GVSU has not lived up to its commitment to diversity,' Miller said. 'My concern is that the charter schools office shows a correlation between poverty and student achievement, and it has chosen not to serve children on that basis.
'We have done what is appropriate to educate the children, and I think we should have a conversation on that.'"
