What???? Only 50% of high school kids in Rochester graduate? That's insane.

Rochester, the city proper, is also among the poorest in the country.

I wish I knew where the cycle of poverty, poor education, unemployment and crime ends....

Yup. That's in the city school district, and may be among the lowest rates in the country. Elaine works in the suburban districts, where the rate is higher.

I just think it's ridiculous for the school board to be touting 50% as a success. They're not so much educators as they are politicians....

My sister owns the house my mother grew up in. It's a big home, a two story Victorian place in a small town in western Washington state. It's got three big bedrooms, two baths and another complete 1 bedroom apartment upstairs with its own kitchen and bath. It's on a big corner lot and has a big attached greenhouse she built. There's a fish pond and gardens. Beautiful home, very interesting, it even has a turret.

She's getting it in shape to sell, she's going to buy a smaller place. I asked her what she was going to ask for it. 180-200 grand.

I could sell my trailer today and OWN THAT HOUSE!

I gotta get the hell out of so cal.

Seems typical of inner city districts. KCMO schools have never been fully accredited in the 17 years I've been in the area. On their 4th superintendent. They think it's a great city because it has BBQ, the Royals, & Chiefs. Those things are irrelevant.

I see touting the improvement, with the caveat "We are still far, far from where we need to be - but we have improved and will continue to work hard to keep improving."

A TURRET??? BUY THAT HOUSE NOW!

I've always wanted a house with a turret library filled with fun paperback fiction.
