Simmons Career Center

I thought my friend's son was graduating from Brandon High. This is the first I've heard re: ALT. Schooling. The Mother told me son was attending a career school with the same benefits as a regular High School. I thought he was attending Brandon & had a program career training .
My only sister was retarded & mother did all her homework to
complete her own education. So, my sister did graduate in 1956, but it was my Mom's diploma.
I was the opposite, blessed with a high I.Q. loved school.
I know this young man is graduating from Simmons, had issues, re: truancy, dislectic, family, divorce & really no guidance.
He's way off wild, running with a bad crowd with no direction.
On the streets 3-4 days a time, no idea of responsibility, drinking,
toking, etc.
My question is... how is this school helping these problem kids if their test rating is 1 out of 10 rating?  
I believe in Alt schooling for special needs.. seems a 1 scale test score at Simmons school is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Evidently, this school isn't doing the job they're getting paid to do.
Where I come from, Hell would be raised & all would hit the fan.
1 out of 10 on 1-10 scale is unacceptable.
