My school doesnt have a rating up, but my nearest hs (esj) has a rating of 3. With WSJ right behind at 2!
3 sounds about right for ESJ (class of 88 here)

If your kid(s) happen to be intelligent, gifted or special needs oriented, then they have different opportunities.
You go to the school district you live in or you move to somewhere else.
The fact that any school system is considered or viewed as less than another is the first problem that should be addressed.
I'm confused... isn't that what you're supposed to do for public schools -- go to the school whose district you live in? I mean if you live in Covington you're not just allowed to go to school at Fountainbleu. Am I missing something?
Because that's the glossed over presentation of "there are too many black kids at my kid's school." I realize you probably don't have school aged kids anymore, but that's kind of the bottom line. It would be nice to see some alternatives, but eventually a district-based system with real and fair lines should be implimented. Then there is no busing of white kids to the hood, kids from the hood to the palacial estates and such. Whatever comprises that district is what it gets. That should help promote understanding and more parental, civic and neighborhood involvement in those schools.
Interestingly, it's exactly the opposite of what is going on in Orleans Parish where you can pick and choose whatever school you want to go to in the Recovery District. That could also work but probably not in Jefferson.

While I agree saintfan, there has always been a disparity between schools. If you live in an area where the district is bad, move, or send them to private school. If you can't afford it, talk to the private schools to see if a payment plan or some type of arrangement can be made.
If you are so concerned about your child's education, if he is in a bad school, then I would think you would do whatever it takes to get them into a good district or a better school, even if it means moving out of the state.
My wife and I researched test scores prior to decided where to send our girls.. However, having said that.. I'm not going to side-track the thread with a school comparison, thats not the issue here..
Maybe we can debate that in another thread, I hope you understand.
