Schools ask low performing kids to stay at home or not take the test in order to make their schools look better. It's a dirty little trick every school uses. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

That is Nest's trick and then they give them the answers when they take the makeup test. Other schools slap the slow ones with an IEP so they can be on the special ed roster not the general ed roster. [ Reply | More

You know, this Nest hater is just bringing more attentiont to Nest. Every time she gets on the board to write one negative comment, so many more people come back to say postive ones. What a dummy. [ Reply | More

She resigned/fired. I heard she was quite good and helped maintain great standards. This new principal seems pretty good too but has the personality of a lump of coal. [ Reply | More

Well, she was retired a little earlier than planned. Nonetheless, those allegations were about her administration, not the current. [ Reply | More

lol are you kidding me? Poor schools would have to have 3/4 of their kids on IEPs. I don't think so. [ Reply | More

Our school is savvy and I don't think anyone was absent for the tests this year, in our grade anyway. [ Reply | More

They also cheat on the tests they do take, but this happens more in low/mid performing schools than in places like NEST or Anderson [ Reply | More

Ok, at this point I chuckle when I see the rabid Nest basher. Starting to sound like she's obsessed! Rabid Nest basher - sorry your kid did not get in there. OR sorry if your school does not seem as good. Think of something else to talk about. Everyone knows Nest is a brilliant amazing school. You are boring us to tears with your whining! [ Reply | More

OP: I was not thinking of NEST at all when I wrote it. My public school friends (not at NEST) told me every school is gaming the system. [ Reply | More
