Wading through second-hand data is always a challenge. But if I have it right, 42% of Warwick's public high school students are not meeting expectations in Math, while 56% of Warwick's public high school students are not meeting expectations in Reading. These numbers are STAGGERING!! And what's truly outrageous is this quote: "“The teachers did a lot of hard work to get these results..." These "results" are more than deplorable. When you ask yourself why corporations (i.e. employers) are not moving to RI, think about a potential workforce in which one of every two job applicants could not meet basic Math or Reading expectations in high school. And the fact that not a single WSC member expressed outrage is a public embarrassment. If I were the parent of a current 8th grader, I'd think long and hard before exposing my child to this academic morass.
