The following is an excerpt from an article I found on the blog Maywood Matters, which is written by Rhonda Sherrod, an education lawyer and Ph.D. recipient who lives in Maywood. This is an interesting read, you all should check it out:
“According to the 2012 Chicago Tribune High School Report Card presentation (and the State Board of Education), in the Spring of 2010*, a mere 1.6% of the juniors who took the ACT at Proviso East “scored high enough on at least three of the four parts of the ACT to be considered ‘college ready’ for key [college] freshman classes.”** (The data was “computed based on ACT scores for 97.4% of students taking the test” at the school.)”
Tragic! And the politicians continue playing games.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the support.
I love what you are doing with this site. We have long needed the type of news outlet that you are supplying us with to report on the beloved community of Maywood. Keep up the good work!
