Note: This school's reading scores are now ABOVE the state average:

Reading scores climb

Hamilton has now posted three straight years of improvement in its FCAT fourth-grade reading score and this year beat the state average for the first time.


Yet, in the school district where YOU reside, that district's reading scores are BELOW the state average. Why?

Well, IMO, it's because that school district will hire a "teacher" who can not pass the state teacher test before they will hire a teacher who can, provided that first "teacher" is (a) married to another teacher in the district (like your favorite teacher, Ian Harvey), or (b) is related to a teacher or a principal.

And, now, years of such nepotism is showing up in the LOWER level of student achievement and reading scores.
