My day care provider has a son in elementary school.. i'm not sure if they're still doing this or not... but the school system gets to choose where your kid goes so that way they can even things out (race wise) a bit i guess.. anywho they said her kid needed to go to sunnyside elementary ( when i went there it was a great school, but that was a longgggg time ago) well when she refused to take her son there because of their test scores, the principal asked her "Are you sure you don't want your son going here because there's alot of mexicans?" My provider said "No your school has one of the lowest scores in Dodge I don't want my son going here" so the principal kept implying that she (my provider) didn't want her son going to Sunnyside because there was "alot of mexicans" My son will never go to the schools here.. I used to be a para at the middle school and that place is so completley out of control!!! I'm sure the high school is the same way... I was told Central Elementary was a good school, but hard to get into. I had a friend that went from Cimarron high school to dodge high school her sophmore year, she said the stuff they were teaching were things she learned in middle school.. she couldn't believe it. Just thought I'd share that since it went w/ the topic
P.S She (daycare provider) ended up taking her son to a school out of this county.
