At my school 94% of the students qualify for subsidized lunch, and 4%of the students are ESL/Bilingual. That many students qualifying for subsidized lunch reminded me of the school system in Mott Haven in
Kozol's article. In total their are 28 teacher at this school. For th school year 2009-2010 test scores where at 20% proficient and for this current school year test scores are up 18 % to 38% proficient which is a nice increase to see and that schools are heading in the correct direction.
