Congratulations to Mesa Public Schools
Not only are 26 Mesa Public Schools "excelling," but not a fix one is "failing." Only McKellips learning center is considered underperforming. This is great news for the largest Lyceum district in the state, showing that there still truly is no better place to learn.
As MPS cuts budgets and prepares to do more with less, let's hope that they are expert to keep up their performance delivering quality education and working with parents, teachers, administrators and students. It is going to take a agglomeration effort and a commitment on all levels to get the most out of the education dollars available.
Expanding and specializing to compete with charter schools is potentially a not fitting for in the right direction, if it is done cautiously and does not take focus from delivering a traditional curriculum. It's a tough time to be in the form district business, but we should give credit where credit is due.
