Between parental politics, after-school programs, and PTA meetings, navigating school districts can be hard and choosing the district that is best for your child is even harder.
Stacker analyzed 2021 data from Niche to calculate the best school district in every state. Niche rankings rely on statistics from the U.S. Department of Education, SAT/ACT scores, college readiness, teacher quality, and graduation rates. Of course, ratings are one thing and experiences another which is why it s always smart to do your research and learn about the families, teachers, and students in a given district before basing something as important as a move on a particular school.
School District defends use of solid white dividers in cafeterias
BETTENDORF, Iowa (WQAD) Officials with Pleasant Valley Community School District say returning to 100 percent in person learning on Feb. 16 felt like the first day of school all over again. And at Monday night’s school board meeting, they hope to ease any concerns families might have, including on a practice inside their cafeterias.
The district is using solid white dividers in elementary school lunchrooms, gaining attention on social media last week.
Superintendent Brian Strusz says this option was chosen over plexiglass to save the district nearly $100,000.
He says students are free to interact with those around them, and this practice is in place to make sure as many kids stay in school as possible.
