Q:
The middle school my daughter will go to is failing AYP. How can I use NCLB to get her in a better school?
My daughter is currently in 5th grade, and is an excelling student at the top of her class. Her current elementary school has great performance on the AYP tests, and she is above the school average. Now due to a school redistricting change, they plan to send her to a Middle/High school that is failing AYP, and has for 3-4 years so far. The AYP tests are abysmal at best compared to other schools. 99% of her current school will go to a good performing Middle/High school by default, she is one of a handful of students that are getting shipped off to this failing school. The school board says they don't give boundary exceptions for this, so my question is can I use NCLB to make the county place my daughter in a non-failing school when she starts middle next year? If so, how can I go about doing this?
