Lebron James’ I Promise School in Akron, Ohio is facing major backlash from Akron Public School Board members after it was reported that the school hasn’t had one student from its 8th grade class pass a state math test in over three years.
Akron Public School board member Valerie McKitrick was shocked by the new revelation and stated “Not one? In three years?” after she was presented with data that showed not one single student in the school’s fall 8th-grade class could pass a Ohio state math proficiency test.
Keith Liechty-Clifford who serves as Akron’s district director of school improvement went on record saying the new finding “Is discouraging.”
Despite receiving massive funding from the James Foundation along with local, state, and federal funding, the I Promise school’s “Black students and those with disabilities, are now testing in the bottom 5% in the state.”
I wonder if they allow white students in there?!
Not in numbers enough to jinx the perpetual failure=more money scam.
If they did allow White students there would be some passing grades for sure 12:37, so your answer is a big fat NO.
It’s a sure that the reading scores are dismal, too.
Not a shocker to anyone.
Bet you Lebron couldn’t pass the test either.
Wait. Maybe the test is racist…Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket!
Yet more proof the more money or sponsorship do not improve test scores. Here is a little hint for improvement. It’s called work (shocker). School is not a joy ride. It requires work, effort, and sacrifice.
