Muskegon principal talks about recent school studies - mlive.com

Muskegon principal talks about recent school studies - mlive.com: "The best way to say it is that Johns Hopkins holds all schools in contention for that. In other words, they're looking at schools no matter whether you have 300 students and you come from an economically successful area, or whether you have, in our case, about 5,000 kids in the total district and it's considered an economically-distressed area. So they're weighing the entire group, the entire spectrum of schools. For a school that fits our profile, we're doing well. But we are not considering ourselves based against schools like ours; we need to compete with schools in general. So we're trying to compete with those proficient schools as much as anybody else."

A very sad NON-ANSWER to the question of why the Muskegon HS kids do so poorly in reedin', ritin' and nummers.

Ya can't fix it if ya deny it's broken.
