Lincoln High School, which is located in a low-income neighborhood in San Diego, was a rebuilt after 50 years of failing to educate children. Rebuilding the high school was the answer the community had been looking for they were hopeful. Before the rebuild most students who attended Lincoln did not meet the standards for their grade-level, few graduated and even fewer went go on to college. After years of suffering and neglect there was little doubt That Lincoln High School deserved the $129 million it received from the city to rebuild. But was rebuilding the school the solution for Lincoln High School 's education problem? First we’ll examine, How the problem started, the decision making steps and if the plan was successful.

Mass immigration also causes lots of poverty in America. America is considered to be a land of opportunity, but when immigrants arrive they often struggle more in America than they did in their previous country. Whether the problem is learning a new language or just fitting in with society, immigrants always struggle with fitting in with our foreign society ("The Immigrant American Dream" 578-579). When that

My school fully expects the best out of our students and uses every opportunity to help us reach our full potential. Teachers at Frank McCourt High School are willing to go out of their way to assist students in achieving goals both inside and outside of classes. Our teachers believe in both academic and personal achievement. Whether its helping us get an internship, starting a club, or boosting our grade in a class, FMHS teachers take time out of their day to benefit the students. In our advisories, we have time dedicated to college applications and prep. We have workshops where we work on writing college essays, practicing for interviews, and financial aid, all in the presence of our college counselor. Our academic classes prepare us for

We need to be a school district that prepares all students to be productive members of society. We need to expose our students to the real world and help them see that the world is bigger than our very small community. We need to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed and reach their goals. We need be a school with a pluralistic culture. Our students need to be culturally competent and have a good understanding of diversity. We need to promote the acceptance and celebration of people from all walks of life. We need to develop a supportive atmosphere where students feel they can express their beliefs freely without prejudice or judgment.

For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these

First, by developing professional learning communities, HSHS primary goal is to establish an organizational culture of shared commitment to academic excellence and exemplary behavior for all students. As evident, in Document 1. Excerpt from Teacher Survey (see attached) revealed that 30% of the ELA Teachers and 37% of the Math and Science Teachers “My academy receives necessary professional development.” In addition, Document 1. Excerpt from Teacher Survey revealed that 38% of the ELA Teachers and 42% of the Math and Science Teachers said, “I feel safe at the school.” Moreover, Document 2. Excerpt from Parent Survey revealed that 68% of the Latino (ethnic) agreeing or strongly agreeing and 87% of the Black (ethnic) agreeing or strongly

The school that I work in is located in Frederick, Maryland. We have nearly 800 students that attend Kindergarten through 5th grade, and with diverse backgrounds. The school is located in a very prosperous neighborhood, with several additional sections of townhomes and apartment complexes which house Section 8. All of these are within walking distance to the school. In Frederick County there are over 2,500 ELL students and more than 11,000 that are FARM (Free And Reduced Meals) students. Our graduation rate is superb with an over 93% graduation rate and a 3.5% dropout rate. This

First off, as a future student of the 210 schools, I want to make sure that my experience there is the best it can be academically and socially. At school, I take my academics seriously and with pride. Also, I participate in multiple extracurricular activities inside and outside of school. When I get to 210, I want to see that money is going into academics and extracurricular activities. I hope the new slate provides solutions to help District 210

2. When a student attend an underfunded school, they receive a negative outlook to learning. Students will be exposed to schools that predominantly have white students, schools that have more funding, better facilities, and better teachers. This makes Black and Latinos feel like they are not as important as the white students. This feeling of unimportance displayed in these lower income schools teaches the students that they are not as important because of their race and class.

Currently, I am student teaching at Alfred E. Zampella PS #27 School in the district of Jersey City. The school is located in a busy city, next to John F. Kennedy St. which is especially busy in the morning and during rush hour. This results in several late students on a day to day basis. On the other hand, this school is also highly accessible and as a little over a thousand students. The school has grade levels from kindergarten to 8th grade, and has a mix of general, special, and inclusion education classrooms. Typically, families that enroll their students into this school are of lower-middle socio-economic class, and tend to be majority Hispanic, Indian, and African American, with few Caucasians and Asians. This school provides a variety of special programs for their ESL students and special need students. Students may be offered speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, ESL programs, reading recovery, and counseling.

Secondary education is a highly debated subject. Many critics of secondary education say that inner-city high schools and students are not receiving the same attention as students from non inner-city high schools. Two of the biggest concerns are the lack of school funding that inner-city high schools are receive and the low success rate in sending inner-city high schools graduates to college. Critics say that while inner-city high schools struggle to pay its teachers and educate its student’s non inner-city high schools don’t have to deal with the lack of school funding. Also students from non inner-city high school are not being given the opportunity to attend colleges once the

We are not filtering out kids who weren’t doing extra credit they are gauging more because they feel like there is more transparency about how we are dealing with them. So you are not game planning it is not perfect and the spirit of it. It doesn't matter what you do behaviorally, now not behavior is unimportant but that doesn’t mean you are smart ass you are stupid and it doesn’t mean you get opportunities. The other things we are making real progress on this in central academy we are closely monitoring the admission there, the gifted and talented were doing the same thing with, so what I have told in the central academy and know the leadership which is helping, I said the enrollment at central academy should reflect exactly the enrollment in the district at large. We have had 75% poverty rate at the district, so 75% at the central academy of fee reduced you know if we have 19% African American, 19% black at central academy same with gifted and talented. We did a big program in central academy that was a little easier with gifted and talented was a little harder one to get our arms to wrap around, pretty robust program evaluation three years back and I didn’t see any surprises you know, it was just unacceptable. You know the excuse we don't

At that time, I believed that every school was just as terrible. But attending Success Academy opened my eyes. I've noticed that Success provides an exceptional learning experience for students in all levels, with high-leveled tutoring. My teachers provided better learning experiences compared to those in the public school I have attended. In my school, 96% of students passed the state Math test and 68% of students passed the state ELA test. The learning experience in Success is what results in these scores. I would love to create a program to make sure this experience is shared with the rest of the

The education system in the United States has fluctuated dramatically throughout generations and has metamorphosed into a system accommodating diversity. All throughout history, we have grown together as a country to allow to feel as if we are wanted and needed in an environment safe for self-reliance. These historical improvements within society coincide with the expansion of acceptance in public schooling, creating a diverse educational outlook on individual student accommodations.

An affluent stable community in the middle of southwest Minneapolis surrounds the students at Southwest High school. The school promotes community and cultural reflection across all classes. In observing a teacher in this school I found they are very passionate for the multicultural curriculum as well as offering many opportunities for students to use critical thinking across all subjects.
