Our School district gets the highest test scores locally and a very valuable commidity for house sales. People who live outside of the district lie and give relatives' addresses just to send their kids to school here. But almost all of the schools have been designated as "Focus" schools because the gap between the top achievers and the struggling kids is "too big". So parents have been contacted about transfering to other school districts where this is not the case .........because so few of the kids are high achievers! This is a state mandate. Ummm.....???
