ReplyDeleteThe ranking you cite is actually for International Community School, another one of the district's Choice Schools. Environmental and Adventure School (EAS) serves students in grades six through nine and is not eligible for the national high school rankings. There are, however, plans to expand EAS by adding grades 10-12. Those plans depend on passage of the bond measure that is on the February 9 ballot. So perhaps you were making a prediction about EAS's future.

Thanks for your ever-watchful eye. I've updated the piece. Good point about another benefit a passage of the bond/levy measure will bring.
