Now is not the time to blame students. Now is the time to analyze our curriculum and make sure we're teaching what we are being tested on.

We want everything to be hands-on. The curriculum should be alive for the students, instead of flat ... They are challenged, but they're able to express themselves and think outside of the box and really understand topics in depth.

By focusing on more rigorous curriculum, we'll get students with better test scores.

With small schools and declining enrollment, two or three kids can dramatically affect test scores. We tested 75 fewer students district wide than last year.

We're finding that students are able to meet many state standards, curriculum standards and our school standards with this project.

The task force feels as though the curriculum should give students an option for a variety of courses, including those that were closed off to students from other colleges in the past. We don't think any campus, except Douglass, should really be built around one theme.
