If the school has to cut teachers, programs, electives, and extracurriculars while increasing class size and special education caseload and reducing supplementary services it doesn't matter if it's Harvard the academic achievement is going to be adversely affected you dope. The audacity to say that administration and educators don't make schools is such a ridiculous statement that it's almost not worth responding to. Nevermind the copious amounts of empirical data that directly contradicts your statements or the countless studies, surveys, and experiments that prove the exact opposite of your insinuation, let's look at some anecdotal evidence close to home. In Stark County only 3 schools received a 5 star rating this year, Lake, Northwest, and Tuslaw. Let's compare Tuslaw, a 5 star district, to the schools that directly border them. First you have Northwest, another 5 star district that has a significant edge in median income, two parent households, property value, employment rate and educational attainment and yet Tuslaw equaled that district despite having every major academic disadvantage. On the other end of the Tuslaw district boundaries you have Fairless who is a 3.5 star district. Fairless has nearly identical median income, two parent households, and employment rate yet they scored drastically lower on nearly every metric the state tests for. The two communities are nearly mirrors of each other, the parents are making the same money, working the same places, living in the same area, preaching the same values yet one drastically outperformed the other academically. Why do you think that is? Are the Fairless parents just worse than the Tuslaw ones despite all the data showing they're essentially the same groups of people or could it be that the performance of teachers and administrators has a much larger impact on school performance than you realize?
