Over 50% (there's an error, it's not 39%) of my students are on free or reduced lunch. Our school has some laptops, but what we have must be shared among all staff members. I haven't been able to acquire access to our school's laptops for my kids for over a month. Nevertheless, they are well behaved kids when presented with and taught how to care for technology properly. I have been at other schools in the past, and this school is not only the most community centered school by far, but takes it to a level I didn't know was possible. We don't test as high in math as other wealthy schools, but we build character in kids who are often dealt a tough card in life through our amazing athletics and music program. We have won "Best Middle School" by our local newspaper (out of four districts) the last three years because our staff is incredibly connected to our kids and the community.
