As a student at McKinley, I see a middle ground. Keep in mind that while these whole visions of schools at the national standard may not be available, low-level improvements are good ideas. I'll start off saying that I am proud of my school, and if I had a million dollars I'd still go here, because while we don't have good physical facilities we've got the best teachers you could ask for. But the low-level maintenance would be nice, stuff like toilet paper in the bathrooms, walls more than three feet tall between toilet stalls, minor stuff like that would work wonders for morale. I also think that the current system of measurement is backwards. We say that private schools are "better" because of higher-performing students. What I'd like to see is for a file on each individual student, and as that student moves among the various schools, see how performance changes. I'd bet you would see a drastically different image than the one you get from these reports.

And because I'm almost legally required to say so, Baton Rouge High is extremely overrated, just look at academic competitions.
