If the last sentence:

“…the top scoring schools: Mission, Hopkins and Mission”

is meant to list an elementary, a Jr. High and a High school respectively, then which “Mission” elementary does it refer to: Mission San Jose Elementary or Mission Valley Elementary?

Thanks.

If enough parents opt out, two things will be accomplished:

1. The gridlocked incompetents of Washington will feel the wrath of our middle fingers poking their eyes. Perhaps they will then change their errant ways.
2. Educational quality will improve as teachers move away from teaching to the test.
