Great article in the Times today about a school in Newark

Hi everyone. I'll be presenting on Standardized Testing on Friday and I just found a great article on how one school who is in danger of failing to meet the standards of No Child Left Behind is trying to turn things around. It's Newton Street School in Newark. There is also a good link to see what schools are in danger of not meeting the standards and how many years they have been in danger. The article is below

I checked Roselle Park (where I live)-and it was ok, but Clark and Cranford are on the list.
The taxes there are triple what I pay- makes me wonder if the residents know about this.

Thanks for posting- it was very interesting.
