The building is truly awesome. A web site with photos from their public open house are available, if you didn’t have a chance to see the building for yourself.

A great building and opportunity for Columbus City Schools.

I’ve seen the gap between urban and suburban schools first hand, but seeing the data is still shocking. A student in Columbus City Schools has about half the chance to graduate as students in surrounding school districts. My question is, what is the solution? My students at East High School currently have about a 50% chance of graduating. Why aren’t people screaming about this?
