School tours are beginning!
Imagine walking down a hallway and opening a door to this scene from kindergarten day 7! Remember this is from the seventh day these children have EVER been in school! Our wonderful teachers consistently create a culture of learning and respecting others. So exciting to see! Please email me at richard.clark@partnershipcle.org or text or call me at 216.409.709. Visits are available to both our schools: Archbishop Lyke and/or St. Thomas Aquinas. The school day begins at 8 AM and ends at 4 PM. The scene above was filmed at Archbishop Lyke.
Face the brutal facts!
Is it OK that black eighth graders aren’t proficient in math and reading?
The question above was asked in a recent Wall Street Journal editiorial.
Why do we keep making excuses? We need to face this issue in all schools: public, private, charter, homeschool...you name it! Our American cities have not faced these brutal facts...instead reasons are given for decades of slow or no progress! The time for excuses is over. Partnership Schools is facing this head on. We seek constant, year after year, improvement in reading and math proficiency. We have just introduced a curriculum in fourth grade that will lead to our scholars taking algebra in eighth grade. We want all our scholars to have the freedom to succeed in high school and complete a four year college degree. We have a long way to go! The following graph is taken from the National Assessment of Educational Progress/Our Nation's Report Card website.
Return to in person instruction for all!
