My first thought was all the girls are going to be "dating college guys."
They've got to go somewhere. It's not been said officially where they're going yet, but that's the most obvious place to put them based on the 2 year construction timeline.
I used to work at MSU before I had kids. The school system was one major reason I chose to move after marriage.
Hernando High School was around 90 million and it was completed last summer. It’s already too small. The cafeteria and gym were designed undersized. The price tags sounds about right honestly.
There's a federal law that when a school is built in one of the Civil Rights states, that it can only be built for 5% overage. Germantown in Madison was massively undersized and they have had to almost double its footprint within 15 years.
Gotcha i just saw the headline on FB and it alluded to one being used for basketball and one for volleyball
“Notably, the project is the first of its kind in the nation, housing all 9th through 12th grade high school students from a single district on a college campus. “
That would be highly embarrassing for said frat guy to date a ....... Yellow jacket.
And that will be it's weakness, taking all of the children in that district and not making it a charter school.
I’m confused. Why would they leave partnership school. Isnt the high school going to be a new building?
A lot of this data is available and has been extensively researched. Just not in every specific school you may be thinking about sending your kids to. We already know that many of those things are correlated to low achievement.

Not to me. A lot of high schools have boys and girls gyms or just 2 for various purposes
The point is that lots of families flee "bad" public schools based on the average student when their child is not average. If they could see that kids from functional families are actually excelling academically, and the school just looks "bad" because there are too many kids from low functioning or non-functioning families, they might not be so quick to leave. I think a lot of times it's the safety factor that hits before academics, but still can't hurt.
Damn. So to hell with the idea that both elementary and secondary education at MSU were benefitting. Going straight secondary. Hmmm. Wonder why?
Yes, there is no more "reading" at the younger levels in the form of books, etc.. They read and study the exact passages that will be on the State testing. That way when they are taking the State test, it is not the first time they are seeing the passage.
Cant speak for everything, but the Partnership originally offered space for MSU education faculty and student and sort of a "laboratory" environment for the College of Education. They had a school right on campus for student/faculty observations, student teaching etc. Classrooms were designed with glass walls and mics for this. Think surgical theater where students can observe and learn. It was 6 and 7 to get both elementary and secondary.
If other states are teaching the test and we are too and our ranking is going up, that is good. Its progress and good progress comparing apples to apples.
Nothing wrong with teaching to the test. That's exactly what you should be doing. If you aren't teaching what will be on the test, then why are you testing? The test is useless unless you are teaching what will be on it.
Agreed
If you’re teaching the standards that is covered. Kind of the point of common core. That was the “new math” that every redneck in Reinzi freaked out over. Which, by the way, is almost word for word the same as the Mississippi standards they adopted because the dumb asses freaked out over common core.
I have no idea about the “new math” but if you can work a math problem the traditional way, you shouldn’t be penalized.
