The Washington Post
Turning to More Than Scores to Rate schools. By Jay Mathews washington Post Staff Writer I studied an alternative school in New Haven Conn.
http://www.bigpicture.org/publications/2004archives/WashingtonPost04.htm

Extractions: Tuesday, September 28, 2004; Page A14 Last year's academic ratings of Rhode Island public schools showed that the Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center, a Providence high school, did not do very well. Its students, many from low-income families, were near the bottom of the list in math skills and writing effectiveness. But on another page in the same book of Rhode Island statistics, the results were startlingly different. The Met, as the school is called, led the state in communicating with its students. Fifty-five percent of students said they could talk easily to staff members about personal problems, and 70 percent said that was true of academic problems, too. No other school came close. Dennis Littky, left, co-founder of the Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center in Providence, R.I., talks with learning specialist Eric Oliveras, standing, and students Jessica Brockta, Eddy Perez and Maria Garcia. Littky says many schools forget basic life skills "in their rush to cram in three sciences, three social studies, four maths and so on." (C.j.

If one in eight Ford Tauruses failed to operate, Taurus would quickly lose its reputation for quality and its popularity with the public. According to tenets of Total Quality Management, if Ford tried to focus blame on individual workers rather than improve systemwide quality, the problem would most likely persist, public and stockholder confidence would deteriorate, and the company might soon be bankrupt. One in eight students does not complete high school. Minorities, the poor, and the disabled often fare worse. Over 50 percent of students in a quarter of the nation's poor, urban high schools fail to graduate. Suspension, expulsion, retention, chronic failure, and alienation all contribute to unacceptable dropout and incompletion rates. Yet rather than take a systems approach to improvement, many states have created alternative schools for the "problem" individuals thought to degrade general education quality. Alternative schools evolved decades ago to provide an academic option for students not successful in regular education programs

Extractions: of alternative education TERRE HAUTE, Ind. An assessment of alternative education published by Indiana State University finds the state's six-year-old commitment to alternative education is paying off for students who may have previously slipped through the cracks of the public education system. [ See entire study Download Acrobat Reader "Making a Difference: Alternative Education in Indiana" found more than 80 percent of alternative education students either attaining or making satisfactory progress toward their academic goals. The study also shatters the stereotype that most alternative education students are "troublemakers." Legislation passed in 1997 provided funding to encourage the state's school corporations to establish alternative education programs. While only about 50 such programs existed at that time, the number of alternative schools has since increased to more than 250. Because they focus on individual goals and positive results, alternative education programs have demonstrated extremely high levels of success, the report says.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Educational Management Eugene OR. Controlled Choice: An Alternative School Choice Plan. ERIC Digest, Number 70. School choice is one of the hottest topics in education. Not only does it have the attention of educators, it has the endorsement of President Bush and a large following of parents. Books are being written, arguments waged, and bills drafted. There is a growing feeling that if parents can choose which schools their children attend, education will improve. However, there are groups urging caution. Some are concerned that issues of equity will be passed over in the push for school choice, causing at-risk students to fall further behind. Because of these concerns, choice plans that focus on equity have begun to receive national attention. Foremost among these is controlled choice, which attempts to create equitable education in a district by providing choice while simultaneously preserving racial and ethnic balance.

http://www.tahoma.wednet.edu/SubSite/MVHS/

Extractions: Grades: 9 -12. Enrollment: 75-85. Maple Valley High School is part of Tahoma School District's plan to provide an education to all students who wish to complete high school. It is an alternative program designed to help students who are at risk of leaving the educational system without earning a diploma. Maple Valley High School began in September 1987 with 30 students, one teacher, and an instructional assistant. After five months, 15 additional students and a second teacher were added. Today the program as been expanded to include 75-85 students. Maple Valley High School is housed in three portable buildings on the grounds of the historic "Maple Valley Grade School." It graduated its 100th student within the first five years and now sees between 17 and 30 students earn their diplomas each year. Maple Valley High School staff believes that positive self-esteem in students provides the foundation for becoming productive citizens who take pride in themselves, their community, and the work around them. Many students come to MVHS as discouraged learners who have given up on completing their education. The staff works to reverse that process by creating a climate of mutual respect, tolerance, and individual responsibility. The staff accepts students for who they are as they come into a new school setting. Past behaviors and experiences with school are not important. Students are invited to let go of attitudes and behaviors that may have kept them from being successful. Maple Valley High School's philosophy is to accept the student where they are today and move ahead.
