I do understand it's not just a bunch of students.. school curriculum, method of instruction, Semester Exams(Which is SADLY missing totally in Frisco) prepare the students in which the school can take a pride in!
" sadly missing" ? You have to be kidding me? The kids have already enough testing as it is , they don't need to have semester testing , a lot of ISD are going away from them anyway. You have already minor testing , major testing and all the other testing that goes with it , those kids are been tested all the time , all the 9 to 11th grades do take the PSAT every year, not a rule in every district.
You really think that one more testing is going to make any difference ? What is wrong with parents these days?

Nothing to write home about whatsoever. You would think that the one school with the most exposure to the "Frisco Method" would have better results. Given that there is no ghetto in Frisco to skew results, this doesn't portend well for the rest of the ISD.
Liberty , Centenial ? They are doing very well, thank you!
