Lebron James’ I Promise School in Akron, Ohio is facing major backlash from Akron Public School Board members after it was reported that the school hasn’t had one student from its 8th grade class pass a state math test in over three years.
Akron Public School board member Valerie McKitrick was shocked by the new revelation and stated “Not one? In three years?” after she was presented with data that showed not one single student in the school’s fall 8th-grade class couldnpass a Ohio stated math proficiency test.
Keith Liechty-Clifford who serves as Akron’s district director of school improvement went on record saying the new finding “Is discouraging.”
Despite receiving massive funding from the James Foundation along with local, state, and federal funding, the I Promise school’s “Black students and those with disabilities, are now testing in the bottom 5% in the state.”
The low test scores will now cause the Ohio Department of Education to intervene at the school in a last effort attempt to reverse the downtrend in test scores.

A video or two of typical classroom behavior would be educational.
You forgot Youngstown, another bastion of advanced learning. Notice, this is a city problem. There is a clear cultural divide between cities and nearly everywhere else.
State tests don’t change very often
Is being black a disability now? Don't tell Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
I thought already being a criminal got style points for the nfl.

I wonder how many of the TEACHERS could pass the state math test.
One wonders if there is a dress code at the school.

Way to go, Lebron, you da man.
No wonder they named that school after an ape
Didnt anyone notice that first year ???
50 years ago there was a complaint that black children in the south didnt know what snow was and it wasnt fair to include anything about snow on a test ...
However it seems the white children in the south managed to answer the questions correctly...
Years ago a talking Barbie said “Math is hard”
so Math must be sexist too...
You know what the worst thing about n____s? N____s love to NOT know. Nothing make a n____ happier than not knowin the answer to your question.
Just ask a n____ a question. Any n____! “Hey, n____, what’s the capitol of Zaire?”
“I don’t know that s___! Keepin’ it real!”
N____s love to keep it real... Real dumb!
N____s hate knowledge. N____s break into your house; you want to save your money? Put it in your books. ‘Cause n____s don’t read. Just put the money in the books. Books are like Kryptonite to a n____. “Here’s a book!” “AAHHH! NO! NOT A BOOK! NO! NOOOO!”
-Chris Rock
Blacks saw movies and tv shows with snow in them. Or books. Man, the excuses started long, long ago.
Labron says put a knife under the bed to cut the pain. Yes, he is that dumb.
Math is too white!
And...? They all got their jabs and their parents are all progressives right so what if they don’t know math?
But they can all tell you who this year’s NBA mvp was.
