5-21-08 No surprise that Vasquez just continues its established pattern of failure. Of the state's selection of 100 similar schools in California, Vasquez is 100th out of 100. The growth target of the State was set at a very low 700, but its test results were only 695.
Of the 100 similar schools, it is the only school with the test result below 700. Only 421 students participated, which is five less than 2005 which had 426 students taking the test. This does not support the claim of growth and student acceptance made by Distaso and the Brighter group.
In 2006 insufficient students took the test to establish any test score, making Vasquez part of less than 1/10 of 1% schools failing to complete the exam.
In 2005 it's growth goal was set to 649, but it achieved only 641 .
In the William S. Hart District every high school achieved spectacularly better test results than Vasquez, with most of him hitting near 800: Canyon High 769 -Golden Valley High School 705 -Hart (William S.) Senior High 779 -Saugus High 792 -Valencia High 797 -West Ranch High 811.
It is now time for the failed Brighter group led by Distaso to step down from the school board and be replaced by people who care about the kids and community. It is also time for the union leaders at the high school to quit, the teaching at Vasquez is poorly done.
There are only two possible conclusions. The first is the professionals and school board are incompetent or second that our children are below the quality of kids in Santa Clarita.
My guess for the problem is on the failed professionals trying to ruin the school and if they ever wanted to understand the reason for four failed Bond issues, just look at the test results of the school.
Only a fool would waste any more money here.
