I have always thought it was such a shame that we live in such a great area, and can’t send our kids to our neighborhood schools. We have a new principal at Estancia who really wants to make changes, and improve our schools, and I believe these meetings are a result of his optimistic approach to building attendance in our schools. As you can see below the district is exploring options to create flagship programs in our area. Wouldn’t that be awesome!
There is a school called Oxford academy that is located in Cerritos. It is a public charter school and the children that attend have to take an entrance exam in order to be admitted. I know the counselor there, and she just told me that their test scores came back, and they are number 1 in the nation, and have one of the largest number of graduates attending Ivy League schools in the country. Google them and check it out! Wouldn’t it be great if Adams and TeWinkle schools could do the same!
I plan on attending the Estancia High School meeting just to see what’s going on. They need out input. Below is a list of the meetings. Please pass this on to anyone who has school age children…maybe we can take back our schools!
