I second Patty's request; though I wanted to attend the Monday event, I had to be at another meeting. Did anyone from the forum attend the NEAT forum on Monday? What were their impressions? erin stojan dayton's bluff

Why do we have a larger achievement gap than similar-sized cities, what is being done about it, and what more can be done? I note that my son's school (L'Etoile du Nord) is the "whitest" elementary school in the district, and also has the highest test scores.

It turns out, that a wealth of data is now publicly available on the internet, including achievement data for individual schools in St. Paul. To see how your neighborhood school is doing, visit the "Research, Evaluation, and Accountability" section of the district web site. http://rea.spps.org/ I mention this in the context of the Maxfield discussion.
