That’s really disappointing by don’t forget it’s not a normal school: “The goal of the school is to serve as an intervention for the district’s lowest-performing students starting at an early age.”

From what the article said it sounds like the students were already behind when coming to the school, and the covid year didn’t help with that.

half the students in their 6th grade class have disabilities, and you need to be in the bottom 25% of your standardized reading scores to qualify for the lottery to be considered for the school.

If zero kids have passed, that means the classes are not teaching properly. Even in the shittiest of conditions, you can find a handful of students trying to learn.

I don’t know about the Ohio School system, but test scores have been pretty extra awful since COVID in California, especially for lower-income minority students, you know, like the ones that the I Promise School serves.
let’s face it, America’s education system is just dogshit in general. Hop on the Chromebook and good luck not getting addicted to your smartphone, kiddos.

> The school takes in the district’s most vulnerable students, many of whom have endured significant traumas in their lives or have learning disabilities. The school also lost its founding leader during its third year, and then had three interim principals in a year and a half. The school named a new permanent principal last school year, but she left the district at the end of the year.
> Liechty-Clifford also noted, when the pandemic hit, I Promise was just a year and a half old, still establishing its culture, while also onboarding 10 new teachers and 120 more students during remote learning. At the same time, he said, “I don’t want to use the pandemic as a crutch.”
Inverse charter school problem.
Charter schools exclude the worst or most difficult students from attending, therefore they look like they’re way better than average public schools (that have to take everyone).
This school serves the most troubled and disadvantaged students, and then covid hit, and now it seems like they’re having trouble getting stability in their leadership (shockingly, not a ton of people interested in working with the most disadvantaged students since its way harder).
Hope they can turn things around, its so tough to help students from these backgrounds because their problems extend farther than just the classroom or immediate family.

* “Two of I Promise’s biggest subgroups of students, Black students and those with disabilities, are now testing in the bottom 5% in the state”
* “Students are entered into the lottery if they are in the bottom 25% of reading scores in the district”
* “Students come into the school an average of two years behind, so it’s not surprising that in early years, students wouldn’t be able to make up that much ground in just a year or two”
Not much to say other then the kids need more time to catch up

I had to check and see if this was the Onion. What am I missing?
*“This fall’s class of eighth graders at the I Promise School hasn’t had a single student pass the state’s math test since the group was in the third grade.*
*”Not one? In three years?” Akron Public Schools board member Valerie McKitrick asked after that data point was presented to the board earlier this week.”*

Given what others have said about the circumstances of the school you just have to hope they have an avenue and roadmap in place for getting these kids into the best possible opportunities for stable comfortable lives. Math doesn’t necessarily have to be a top priority for that, although you’d hope they’re at least making an effort where appropriate. Even though specific math topics often have limited practical usage in life, the general mathematical thinking imparted has a big cumulative effect on the development of effective problem-solving and logical reasoning skills, so it’s still worth it to go through.

If the school is total shit then this is most likely just a brand-enhancing tax deduction.

Ngl, the way we teach math in America period is terrible. I guarantee if that school taught math how the Soviet Union taught math & how Eastern European countries (who still use that Soviet Union way of teaching math), those students will be killing in math. Wealthy kids literally get Russian math tutors to learn how they do math https://www.wbur.org/news/2017/04/13/russian-math-school
