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

DPF, I found the link for the 500 ranking. It came from schooldigger.com and since that figure was…Read More put out before the bond vote, it was for 2011. Since then the 2012 figures have been updated and South Side is now ranked at #151 along with 14 other schools at #151. Unlike, the district, all I would like to see is information being brought to the public's attention. This is why I am posting the uptick in the schooldigger rating.
So this is where we stand:
Schooldigger #151 up from #508 in NY State
US News #117 down from #22 in nation
Newsweek #312 (I don't know what we were last year)
The main point, however, is that when the ranking is good, you put out a press release and hang a banner on the wall. When the ranking declines, you are silent. This is especially egregious right before a contested board of ed election.
Perhaps you are right that there really is no way to rank a school. But if that's the case, then the district can't just pick and choose which ranking to make public.

Been there done that: how disgusting of you to list descriptions of the PTA president and then hide…Read More behind your anonymous posting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Want someone to post your employment status??

I'm enjoying your selective issues
Never said the demographics changed, you clearly missed my point…Read More
The bond was passed because the elementary parents got involved. Also, the bond was a smart move, borrowing money at such a low rate. Any accountant would tell you that
The bond vote has NOTHING to do with affording college. One is $120 a year, the other is a 30 to 50 K expenditure.
If you think the rise of 2 year colleges admissions doesn't have to do with the economy, then we can end our discussion now.
The superintendent was given a 1 time annuity. Next year, he will be back to his usual top 10 ranking. Once again, nothing to do with test scores and if the public was so outraged, why aren't the board members being recalled?
Still waiting for link of the 500 ranking in NYS
Haven't located it

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.
