Best High Schools: State by State Statistics

Wisconsin Schools

I have three children. All intelligent, aware, decent, thoughtful people. Never in trouble, go to Church, community active. Now teenagers. We moved to and now live in what we were told was an excellent small city, with "exceptional" public education facilities, seven years ago. I am a four year, college degreed professinoal, and education is greatly valued in my family, for generatinos. Two years ago, I removed all three from the WI public education system for the following reasons:

* My son (who has a diagnosed "cognitive learning disability" and was placed in the high school's IEP program, although taking regular, grade level and full-time classes), was verbally and physically attacked by the school principal as well as a teacher and other students. My several attempts at resolution to this matter (following school and WEAC policies and procedures), over a two year period proved futile. Through my own research, I found and "contracted" a non-profit group and then an attorney advocate from this group to represent my son in a closed door school hearing with the school principal, a rep from the school district, a close relative of my son, myself and our representing counsel. WEAC did NOT want me to find this non-profit for my son, nor did they support me, as a tax paying, homeowner and mother of a public school student, in ANY way. The end result was that I removed my son, and then my two daughters from another WI public school in the same district (and yes, my daughers were treated badly as well, both HONOR students, but because the H.S. principal exchanged - illegally - information with the M.S. principal - and the M.S. principal was just as ignorant as the one at the H.S., my daughters were made to suffer as well). My children are schooled at home through a WI, college prep "virtual" s nchool of high caliber. I am very thankful to have found this option for my children to continue their education. This too, was not "mentioned" by WEAC as an alternative, nor was it supported. My opinion of WI schools, WEAC, the entire WI school administration system, curriculum and teaching methods are not only sub-standard, they are outright dangerous to our young people. What is currently being taught in today's WI public school system is NOT "college prep", nor is it valued education. AND if you are "different" in any way (such as "above the curve" in intelligence, have compassion for others, think "outside the box", have ANY sort of learning disability - including autism, dyslexia, mental retardation, depression, physical disability), you are "lumped" into one classroom, and treated like a pyrian (def. tentacled enemy) by teachers and peers alike. What my children found as "lessons" from public school is that PEOPLE are mean, judgemental, ignorant, bullies, and run their schools like concentration camp guards instead of teachers put in the classroom to HELP and GUIDE students to LEARN, creating a more progressive, educated and better society for everyone.

2. where can l find the list of Christian high schools in CA and the state of Washington.

Thank you.

private schools ?

I take note that no private schools ,boarding or day , were included in the survey. It would be interesting to see where they would fall in the survey . In addition , it seems that many of the schools are special emphasis programs , usually requiring competetive admissions. Lets take a look at good old general high schools where the bulk of our kids do get their education.
