Perhaps the blatant disregard for common web standards could be the
reason? (this is after all a web *standards* list and not a web
designers list...)
Lets see:
- tables for layout
- no alt attributes for images
- obtrusive javascript (are "professional" companies really still
getting away with the default Dreamweaver rollers???)
- reliance on javascript for basic functionality
- the marquee tag ?!?....
- no form labels
So that's inaccessible, non-semantic and non-xhtml/html compliant
... im not sure i can stand to review any more of the site, the home
page is enough to kill my spirit.

Perhaps the students should code the site - they couldn't do much worse!

Take a look at Sullivan High School's http://www.sullivanhs.org/. As you
can
see in the homepage's lower right corner it's from the Chicago Public
Schools, http://www.cps.k12.il.us/, with a company, Educational Networks,
http://www.educationalnetworks.net/, behind it.
Is it too slick? I'm of two minds. It's great that it's a good-looking
site,
but it might be nice to let the students be the designers. I don't
actually
know what the students think about it, on the other hand.
