...crickets...

five years of climbing grad rates for all, five years of soaring grad rates for underserved students.

no one wants to make note of who's been at the helm? if she gets the blame, she gets the credit too, right?

...crickets...

congrats to the 95.7% of our students that made the grade!

Awesome news, although, not a surprise! Thank you, Mrs. Ahmadi! Your service to our district is appreciated! There are MANY who stand behind you and the positive changes you have made for students in our district! Best wishes to you as you move on to CV They are lucky to have you!

This article displays what the combination of amazing families, kids, and teachers can achieve under good leadership!

Sometimes, of course, success in any field is achieved despite, rather than because of, the leadership. :-)

Let's not wear rose-colored glasses. In almost every field, those at the top tend to take credit for the good and place the blame for any failures elsewhere. I doubt whether Pleasanton is any different.

Not crickets, the children that graduated were already on a 13 year track to graduate. Why? Because the families that live here in Pleasanton realize how important an education is. To infer that the failed administration had anything to do with steadily increasing rate of graduation is ridiculous. Parents caring about their children and keeping them on track is what's increasing the graduation rate.

clearly would have been even better with out Ahmadi and the other total losers who have been running the school district in pleasanton

Nothing rankles me more then attributing educational success to those in management instead of where it rightfully belongs: to the parents and families in the district.

Take our children and families to any low-performing district and watch what happens to that districts scores.

To quote Ralph Kramden: "Through the roof!"

Edit: more THAN. Ugh!

Involved parents and great teachers are what keeps graduation rates high.

Thanks to Parvin: That was a joke, right?

Ah, I see, this is how the big CEO's annual reports/bonus schedules go correct? When the report is good it has nothing to do with management- only the consumer. When there is a drop in production, it's all the managements fault, no correlation to the consumer.

So...if that's the route we go- parents/kids are the reason the schools are doing so well...let's return to this philosophy when the SBAC test scores come back- we can assume it is also due to parents and students of course.

Only in Pleasanton do we work so hard to make a successful school district look bad. Really its some of the worst "munchausen by proxy" I have ever seen- sick! And to see three of our board members leading this charge is even sicker. Our board president doesnt have ONE good thing to say about the last 5 years? Only one attended the district education summit, none attended the Excellence in Education event. Both events had more participants from the City Council!

You fool no one, except those who see this as the news source for Pleasanton. I congratulate our schools and the management that has delivered this consistent possitive news for the past 5 years, as we recovered from the greatest cuts we've ever seen in education successfully! Cant say I have any trust for 3 Board members who fail to see this or ever mention one positive about our schools- just doesnt match with the facts.

People love to complain. We have it really good here. Quit with all the complaining.

TheTruth,

Yes Truth, because Consuming and Learning are, like, the same thing! /sarcasm.

It's amazing that you didn't catch your own admission about the effectiveness of parents and families in education when you said the following:

>>I congratulate our schools and the management that has delivered this consistent possitive news for the past 5 years, as we recovered from the greatest cuts we've ever seen in education successfully!<<

So even though the budget was cut some time ago, school scores continue to remain the same and in some cases get better, right?

Thanks for the verification!
