DannyHall,

I am sure that Ms. Dambruch is a fine person and educator, and I'm not here to throw stones. However, the percent of students at Robertson meeting or exceeding expectations in both Math and English do not remotely approach 50%. In fact, Robertson students trail both state and city averages by a wide margin in Math, and marginally in English. In Math, fewer than 1 in 4 (23.7%) Robertson students are meeting expectations. Less than 1 in 4!! Not only is this most definitely NOT "...one of the top performing schools in the city", but rather the 4th lowest of 15 elementary schools in the city. I wish Ms. Dambruch well in her new role, but the same students with the same demographic are being taught by the same teachers under the same administration in the same buildings. The only variable that changes is the percent of students deemed to be competent as they progress through the system. Specifically, the longer those students remain in the Warwick public schools, the less competent they become as reflected by any data you care to reference.
