It was the second time in two weeks that a small MPS high school was closed on an emergency basis because of major internal problems, including disruptions and violence
Innovative programs pState records show that 92% of the students at the School of Humanities were suspended during the 2004-'05 school year, and that there were 11 drug- or weapon-related incidents that resulted in suspension or expulsion during that year.
Amazingly, 132% of the school's students that year met the legal definition of being chronically truant - something that could happen only because there was so much turnover in the student body during the year. To be specific, 189 students were chronically truant in a school that had an official enrollment of 143.
In the state's standardized testing a year ago, fewer than 10% of the school's 10th-graders were rated proficient in each of the five areas tested. Only one of the 24 who took the tests was rated proficient in reading, science and social studies. Two were proficient in language arts, and none was proficient in math. Edited by: Bart
