Many companies and municipalities are doing the same, as was predicted when the ACA was debated.…Read More Logical business decision.

The source for the average AP score of 1.8 and the average SAT score of 1618 (Jericho's is 1884) is…Read More the Newsweek rankings. My regents facts are from the NY State report card. For example, only 32% of the students scored 85 or better on the chemistry regents. So now will you answer the question? Where is the concern about our actual academic performance?

beentheredonethat, none of your facts are true, and so made up statistics are not worth answering.…Read More You seriously use "school digger.com" as a valid source of information? From its own website, it is "a one-person software development shop" based out of Lake Forest Park, Washington State. Glad to hear the Baldwin schools are doing so well, thanks for that update!

That is not an answer to the question. So I will repeat it. Where is the concern that our average AP…Read More scores are 1.8 half of Baldwin's? Where is the concern that our SAT scores are nearly 200 points lower than Jericho's? Did the students "bail" on the SAT's as well?

Hey Matt Hogan, While I don't buy into posts that you are Johnson's press secretary and him having…Read More a hand in running this publication, I do believe myself and many other readers here would appreciate an in depth, unbiased and objective interview w/ him asking the tuff questions your readers asked here. He always seems available to comment on and inflate the slightest bit of positive news, perhaps he would like the opportunity to comment on and explain his take on the latest rankings, etc. Have you or any member of your staff ever directly interviewed him or requested and interview w/ him and would you consider requesting such an interview?

It is nothing short of amazing that people are still rushing to the defense of Johnson/Burris and…Read More their minions at the PTA. What's wrong w/ you people? When the rankings come out positive they do everything they can to publicise them from plaques on the wall to streaming video on the district website and everything in between. Yet not a peep on the latest rankings. 500+ ranking in NYS, people thats based solely on test scores not the # of kids taking the test and how many free lunches the district provides. Do any of you wonder at all why Johnson encouraged kids to "opt out" of NYS testing? If so let me help you out...The scores are going to be awful and would have been worse had all the kids participated. The quality of life in this town and its education system is circling the bowl, we need positive change not the same old go along to get along mentality. Pls think about voting for Ms Rubino, we need some balance and accountability on that board not a bunch of Johnson puppets. Not sure when Johnson's contract is up but he too has got to go, he is slowly destroying this district. We might try to hire Baldwin's superintendant as he really seems to know what he is doing when it comes to AP.

This is the funniest blog post ever. Someone thinks Patch is run by Johnson, another should have…Read More used the more appropriate pseudonym "know it all" and the most recent thinks the PTA is ruining our neighborhood. Go to a meeting, get involved, educate yourself. If you can't go to a meeting watch the local government and school channel. Then perhaps you would know that the bulk of the school budget is dictated by NY state.
