Subject: Re: Why do so many students attend non-public schools Author: Rick [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:14:47 08/20/03 Wed In reply to: Dennis 's message, "Re: Why do so many students attend non-public schools" on 13:13:30 08/20/03 Wed Hello, According to the Mass Department of Education website (http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/search.asp?county=Middlesex), here are our neighboring towns percentage of children attending public schools for 2002: Tyngsborough 88% Chelmsford 96.4% Billerica 97.6% State Average - 89.8% Dracut 85% I believe that the busing resolution will not alter these percentages. My intention is not to disparage the Dracut Public School System; instead, I wanted to hear from individuals who have sent their children out of district. Is it because of the free busing, religious convictions, perceived educational benefits, etc. If you do not want to publicly post your opinion, feel free to click on my name and e-mail your response. Thank you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
