My kids are in an urban public school in Wisconsin. 87% receive free or reduced lunch. In 2012, only 35% of our students were proficient or above for reading. We are struggling to make education speak to our kids, who are often looking only for where their next meal is coming or where they are sleeping that night. We have new administration which has made an impressive impact in the school climate. Previous administrations over spent and we are now working off of a deficit budget, leaving little money for anything beyond the essentials.
