When I first read of the school... it sounded more like a prison..

Locke High School in South Los Angeles is on lockdown after a major brawl involving hundreds of students. Another brawl was reported at nearby Washington High School.

Police in riot gear are searching through classrooms at Locke High. Several students have been taken into custody for questioning. At least four students suffered minor injuries.

The fight reportedly broke out during the lunch hour. As many as 600 students at Locke High School fought in a lunchtime brawl. School officials separated Latino students from black students who had not yet made it to their next period...Several Los Angeles Unified School District campuses have had brawls between black and Latino students. Police have surrounded the school are trying to restore order before students are let out for the weekend.

A school riot?... 600 students involved.. lockdown...

But what was most shocking ...

Scale: % at or above proficient ,... General Mathematics (Grades 6 & 7 Standards)
2% (2007)
1% (2006)
1% (2005)


This "great school" has a two percent proficient score in general mathematics...

Oh well one bad school... but wait...

The state average for General Mathematics (Grades 6 & 7 Standards) was 13% in 2007.

Is it just me or is 87% of the 6th and 7th grades NOT being proficient in math a bit pathetic?

And 98% of the 6th and 7th grades NOT being proficient in math at a school a disgrace?...
