I'm looking forward to the implementation of common core curriculums and its promise of fostering…Read More children's curiosity, thoughtful inquiry and real substantive learning instead of learning to the test.
That said, Mr. Rosenblatt is right on about API scores more a reflection of the population than the school. There are a lot of Tiger parents in BRSSD and the Bay Area. I would also add that families seeking the "perfect" school are also seeking the "right"
population that share similar educational values and drive.
I'm sure these families are also cross referencing API scores with census demographic data about the zip code they are buying into.

Old saying "figures lie when liars figure"-- the 49th in the nation is based on per…Read More student.....(you don't need twice as many administrators when you double the student population)---We are in the top five of states on total spending.....if you want to ask an interesting question--how much goes for teacher pensions vs. in class spending???

For those of us growing up in San Carlos in the 60's, 70's and 80's we were extremely fortunate and…Read More spoiled to have our introduction to music be in the hands of Rita Hagemire(sp). Rita taught at all SC schools. Her passion for music and teaching was contagious, she knew how to reach they youngest 4 years old to the oldest 14 years old to get them excited about music. Thank you Rita!
