Vivian I get the impression that Central Academy is basically an Alternative Learning Enviroment School and not a Gifted School. Although with the scores I don't see why you would send your child there, just my opinion.
 
For those that want to know about Central Academy:

WHAT! I thought Central Academy was the cream of the crop, a standard to be met.
Yep...new carpet and paint should cause these scores to soar to new heights.

Not looking to Good at Central Academy, the school is on Academic Watch from last year.  But I bet the new Refurbed Rosedale will straighten that all out.Ermm

Value Added -below
 
Performance Index Score 76.9 out of 120

Yes Vet...but aren't they required to be part of the State Testing also?
We the taxpayer foot the bill for this school also.

Vivian- Isn't Central Academy a non-graded school? One of those "express yourself" schools. Don't know how they would report the grades out of Central if true.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:33:23 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=934&PID=5377&title=stricklands-plan#5377 Strickland's Plan : VetI would like to know the test... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=934&PID=5375&title=stricklands-plan#5375 Author: Vivian Moon

I would like to know the test scores of Central Academy vs the other grade school.
Why aren't these scores inculded with the others so we can see the results?

Vivian- Dr. Steve and the education people in town stated, during their 45 million dollar bond push for new elementary schools, that new schools would produce a better learning environment and therefore, improve the academic performance of the district because " kids learn better in the proper environment" which includes media centers and all the latest bells and whistles. Have we seen it yet? No. The people who voted yes for the building of the new schools believed the good doctor (again) and he didn't deliver (again). Another promise made, another promise broken by the head cheese. The problem is, we have too many people buying the crap that Price is shoveling and they are not reflecting on this district's deficiencies under his guidance. It wasn't OUR wish to have these new schools built. It was a small percentage of residents who are school supporters who comprised the majority, winning percentage at the poll to support the nonsense he was shoveling. The potential no voters were too lazy to register and or show up to defeat Price's bunch. It will be interesting to see if the people will show to defeat this Phase 2 crap concerning new middle school construction. I hope the people will wake up to the game he's running- all glitz and no substance.]]> Wed, 01 Apr 2009 07:02:59 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=934&PID=5373&title=stricklands-plan#5373 Strickland's Plan : Vet If you watched the last School... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=934&PID=5354&title=stricklands-plan#5354 Author: Vivian Moon

If you watched the last School Board Meeting Mr. Price stated several times that it was OUR wish to have all these neighborhood schools, not his...so that is why it is now costing more to operate all these schools with fewer children enrolled...Geek

Vet, If I understand Stricklands plan, the 15-16% is to help relieve the need for large levies. It is to help take the burden of education costs off of homeowners. The states hope is that in time levies will be goneThumbs%20Up]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2009 10:25:20 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=934&PID=4165&title=stricklands-plan#4165
