Taking a look at Atkinson. Have 2 small kids, 5 and 2. In the NECAP ratings it was pretty far down the list. #59 out of 82. I know test scores are just a piece of the pie. Would love to hear the pros and cons and if a move to Atkinson makes sense based on the school system.
the schools improved a lot since this was posted(hs test scores anyway). they were bottom of the barrle in the 00s and now they're above average for the state.
i know a lot of people who went to pollard (elemtary in that video) and have fond memories of their time at the school. i'm surprised to hear there is a bullying problem with the elementary kids. Bullying was present at the high school but not rampant in the 00s. It didn't seem any worse than other schools for bullying, and maybe even less than usual. There was a massive speical ed program at the school, so maybe that helped..Plenty of 'weird kids' who weren't tortured on a daily basis.
