I enjoyed this piece. We have our son at Jefferson Elementary in barrio Carlsbad. Until recently, it was a very low performing school, with nearly half of the students being English learners. Under the guidance of highly motivated leaders and teachers, they have recently been certified as an International Baccalaureate school.
Now each year the waiting list to get in gets longer and the test scores have gone from so-so to great.
