Jennifer Esparza: I would say this is an average shcool but, after seeing the test results I would say it's challenged . How can the scores be so low and it not make a difference? This is my question. If there is a problem ,which in this case seems like there is .Then why not try and find a solution ? Im willing to help any way I can as a parent . I just need someone to direct me .
