‘I Promise School’ Students of LeBron James Couldn’t Make the Basic Math Test
A piece of ridiculous news related to LeBron James’ ‘I Promise School’ has just come out and instantly went viral on the internet. The news is that a student from ‘I Promise School’ is not able to pass a Basic Math Test.
‘I Promise School’ was opened in 2018 and is located in Akron, Ohio with an important and honorable purpose of helping at-risk children in mind. This school is fully supported by James and his family and also gets the fund from the government.
But the latest news which came out regarding the school has given birth to some issues.
According to Jennifer Pignolet of the Akron Beacon Journal, “this fall’s class of eighth graders at the I Promise School hasn’t had a single student pass the state’s math test since the group was in the third grade.”
The main issue which is causing problems to school board members is that even after the allocation of many precious resources, some ‘I Promise’ students are doing worse than their peers and aren’t qualified for any other place.
“Two of I Promise’s biggest subgroups of students, Black students and those with disabilities, are now testing in the bottom 5% in the state, landing the school on the Ohio Department of Education’s list of those requiring targeted intervention,” Pignolet wrote.
She then added that, “comparing I Promise students to their peers who qualified for the school but attend elsewhere shows that I Promise students are doing worse in some cases, despite the extra staff and wraparound services.”
Even on a granular level, the stats look troubling.
“The incoming group of eighth graders, the ones who haven’t tested proficient on the math test in three years, weren’t always struggling at that level,” the report noted.
“Their first year in the school, when they were in the third grade, 17% of the class tested proficient in math. The following year, there were no tests because of COVID, and ever since, they have not had one student pass the test. On the English test this spring, 8% of them tested proficient.”
If the situation at school doesn’t change soon, then LeBron might face many issues soon and will find himself in trouble. Will he address them at any point in the foreseeable future? We will see.
