WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE this has been a problem in the Lyons School District for as long as I can recall... That is why parents are sending their children to other school districts..

I believe that you should get the facts straight, before you broadcast your opinion. You failed to mention that their are specicalty programs such as the Point Rock Academy at Elkhart High School USD 218. The faculty and staff are devoted to "creating" life long learners. I'm sure that if it was your home town school, you probably wouldn't want people "slandering" it... Case in point, get the facts straight before you put "junk" on the web and news. And furthermore; find something better to talk about...

Duh Jennifer, figures lie and liars figure. It sounds like they are comparing apples to oranges. If all you are doing is comparing those numbers, they are not taking into consideration move aways, etc. That data is there but it sounds like the researchers are lazy.

Yes, that is right they made up the numbers and put it out there all willey nelly.

Sure, we do have kids droping out, but that data is not factual, not that many have dropped out

I would say the number don't lie!
