In the news... again...

Yesterday's article about DCP's gain in the API, reflecting the fact that the students decided to actually take the tests last spring.

Wow. I wasn't aware of the prior year's protest. That must have been an interesting experience.

Congrats on your score! That's a substantial jump from the median score for Latino students.

Interesting. Yeah, I guess that is a word that you could use. :) It was more like a system-wide meltdown. But it was cool to see the students rally and organize in a powerful, peaceful way. And last year our staff culture wasn't the best, across the board, as we were in a kind of collective recovery. I think we are off to a much stronger start this fall.
