Mabry Elementary School

Grades

Students

As a parent who’s kindergartner goes to this school. I seriously could not be happier. The teachers truly love the students. She hugs my son every single morning and makes every student feel SAFE and comfortable at school. That doesn’t mean they let things slide though. Which is great! Bullying and being inappropriate is completely unacceptable to them. And will notify and call the parent as soon as a child is not being kind. They work with my son and he has so many friends. Is starting to read. And feels loved and safe. The communication between his teacher is amazing as well. We LOVE it here!

A+ Bevis is an awesome school. We are so blessed to be able to send our two boys to Bevis. It’s not an easy school and the parents need to be involved to succeed.

Lutz Preparatory Academy

Grades

Students

Excellent curriculum and teachers in both elementary and middle school. I do believe most ideal fit is for a child who enjoys school and being “pushed” academically. Gifted program at the public school we came from was less rigorous then the regular classroom work/ expectations at Lutz Prep. My child certainly had to adjust to the work expectations and extra attention is focused on student development instead of teaching to test. We are also enjoying the after school activities such as the musical theatre club and variety of sports, some of which are no cut so everyone can participate.

Hammond Elementary School

Grades

Students

I have been involved with this school since it opened back in 2007. I was on the original PTA Board and it’s been an exceptional school since day #1. The teachers at Hammond are phenomenal and they deeply care for their students and ALL of their kindergarten teachers are fantastic. The quality of education here is second to none. My older children got a fabulous foundation and they both have gone off to college for engineer with full scholarships. My two younger children are also excelling at Hammond. The Advance Gifted Program is extremely enriching and the school even offer a multitude of after school programs such Math Clubs. The PTA at Hammond is strong and creative. They have raised a lot of money over the years and it will be clear to see when you tour the school. The school is lucky to have an abundance of volunteer and not a shortage which enables the school to host a number of fun activities throughout the yr such as the Wolf Cub Prowl, Field Day and Jump Rope For Hearts just to make a few. There are opportunities to get to know other families every month at different area restaurants that host the school’s Family Fun Nights where a certain percentage is returned to the school. So is you are considering this area you will not be disappointed. Keystone (the Odessa’s part of zip 33556that is in Hillsborough Co) is beautiful, safe and very family oriented. I have lived in this area for almost 20 yrs and although it’s grown it’s still a very small and close knit community and the middle schools and High Schools in the are just as wonderful.

Stowers Elementary School

Grades

Students

Not happy with this school. Military family in & out of a lot of schools…13 different ones so far between both of my kids. This one is one of the worst we’ve attended. Very behind academically & socially. Not enough of variety of work & recess may as well be nonexistent. Only 10 mins per day & not everyday! Kids learn so much better when they have more outdoor time! If your child likes sports this is not the school for you! Basketball goals are not accessible during recess & there is no school gym! Our last school my son had 3 recess per day everyday & PE on some days. There was a basketball court, kickball field, & lots of playground equipment all in the same area & a gym in addition to that! They also held a lot more parent/student activities. He thrived academically & enjoyed attending school! The only plus to this school are the friends he has made!

Hillsborough’s struggling schools attempt a ‘transformation.’ Can it work?

With 35 “persistently low-performing” schools — more than any other Florida county — the road ahead is uncertain.

In the videos, children crawl on the floor and talk excitedly with their table mates. They stand in front of Alexandra Maley’s third-grade classroom at Kenly Elementary in Tampa, explaining how they solved a word problem.

A group of Hillsborough County school leaders watches the clips with rapt attention, because everyone wants to discern the magic. Kenly’s state grade shot from a D to a B last year, largely on the strength of students’ math scores.

How does that happen?

Is it the way a team of teachers analyzes wrong answers to pinpoint which concepts need a quick review? Is it the calming voice of teacher Tiffany Brown as she tells her class: “Read the problem. Read it once, read it twice, but read it until you are able to comprehend.”

The answers don’t come easily. The magic is elusive.

The ‘Transformation Network’ is born

Despite numerous initiatives and tens of millions of dollars spent, Hillsborough County continues to have far more schools than any other Florida district deemed “persistently low-performing” by the state.

And no one, it seems, can say why.

Hillsborough has 35 schools on the list. No other district has more than 18, including the two that are bigger. Pinellas County has six. Pasco County two.

The reasons for the disparity might include poverty and language barriers, discipline problems and punitive state tests, according to principals, teachers and administrators interviewed by the Tampa Bay Times.

But these same challenges exist everywhere in Florida, as does the latest culprit affecting student performance: COVID-19.

Hillsborough’s dismal statistics persist despite a succession of ambitious initiatives, all intended to create a quality education for students, regardless of income or zip code.

The latest effort — the “Transformation Network” — is the brainchild of superintendent Addison Davis, now completing his second year on the job.

The initiative is headed by fourth-generation educator Shaylia McRae. Her team is trying everything from organized community outreach to fast-food coupons to reward better student attendance.

They’ve reached out to church leaders, who said in the past they wanted to help but were sometimes turned away. Using corporate donations, McRae’s team is setting up gaming rooms on campuses. Local colleges and universities are sending students known as “Transformation Fellows” to help as tutors.

And in a school system already focused on data, the team has taken number-crunching to a new level, working to maximize every teaching moment for every student.

“We identify what are the standards that students are doing well,” McRae said. “And we create action plans to help to guide what we should be teaching in daily instruction. We try to ensure that students are getting what they need in order to be successful and proficient.”

For the kids, their families and the Tampa Bay community, the price of continued failure is high.

In the worst of Hillsborough’s “Transformation” schools, 60 to 85 percent of students fall below the state’s most basic standards in reading, year after year. Later in life, many will struggle to read a job application, a training manual, an election ballot, a doctor’s written instructions after surgery.

Yet every year, the school district will send them on by the hundreds to more challenging settings in middle and high school.

‘They want to learn’

District leaders are aware that the work must go beyond school walls. “If we believe that we can transform and break the cycle of underperforming schools by only focusing on our students while they are only in our schools, we are sadly mistaken,” said Davis, the superintendent.

McRae is training one employee at each school to be a family and community ambassador. At James Elementary in Tampa, the one remaining F school, principal Nicole Bennett is not shy about asking teachers to make home visits. “We have to go to them if they don’t come to us,” she said.

She addressed the stigma of the F this way: “I think it’s hard to be identified by a letter grade … because unless you’re here every day in these trenches, you don’t know what we’re doing or what’s going on or how much growth we’re even making from the year before and the year before that.

Now in her second year at James, Bennett has moved from establishing better behavior routines to differentiating the lessons based on individual student needs.

“Our kids want it,” she said. “They’re not just sitting there saying, wamp wamp. They want to learn. They want high structure, and they want to feel like this is a school community.”

Davis is celebrating the team’s early success, at least on paper: The district in 2021 had 14 D and F schools, while two years ago it had 28.

But a C doesn’t mean a school is out of trouble.

Schools often swing from the C grades that they work so hard to obtain back to a D or F — which lands them back in the state warning zone. That’s partly because the points to earn that C come largely from two categories: Gains overall, and gains made by the lowest-scoring 25 percent of students. There are only so many gains to be had, even in the highest-performing schools, so it’s hard to keep getting those points.

If not for lenient state requirements during the pandemic, more Hillsborough schools could have dropped to a D or F last year. More than half of the Transformation schools that had a C or better saw pass rates drop for English/language arts, math, or both. Nearly 5,000 students in that group tested in Level 1 for reading, the lowest of the state’s five levels.

Davis, McRae and chief academic officer Terry Connor agreed that timetables imposed by the state can stand in the way of true progress. Bringing a student, or a group of students, to the levels they should be can take years.

Yet after a school gets a D or an F grade, the state expects rapid change.

New names, same problem

Jeff Eakins, the superintendent who preceded Davis, tried in 2015 to make Hillsborough an example for all large districts by using seven schools as a learning laboratory, then expanding the successful methods to the rest.

The seven were known as “Priority” schools. To avoid confusion with the state’s designation of priority schools, he later changed the name to “Elevate.” One of the seven schools, Miles Elementary, improved enough to leave the group after the first year, but later regressed to its current D grade. Another, Sulphur Springs K-8, never moved beyond a D.

Assistant superintendent Tricia McManus — now a superintendent in North Carolina — was charged in 2018 with rolling together all of the district and state school improvement work under the “Achievement Schools” project. Fifty schools were in that group. District leaders say McManus made progress through better recruitment and preparation of principals.

Other strategies included paying $45 million in teacher bonuses. More money came from government grants, including the federal Title I program that in a typical year delivers roughly $60 million for high-poverty schools. The district hired consultants under orders from the state. To date, those payments have exceeded $8 million.

When Davis took over, he put McRae in charge, renamed the group the Transformation Network and cut it to include only the 28 D and F schools. Then he expanded the group again to include what are known as “fragile C” schools. The number is back up to 45.

To get a snapshot of the problem, the Times looked back at five years of data in the 14 Transformation schools that still have D grades, or in the case of James Elementary, an F.

Patterns emerged.

Some schools have had one or two principals since 2016. Others had three or four. One has had five.

A number of teachers lacked the training or skill to help children meet state standards, according to state-required improvement plans submitted by school administrators.

Some schools were so small that their numbers work against them when it comes to state grades. They had too few students to benefit from those extra points the state awards when the lowest-scoring kids make gains.

Other schools strained to serve their students because of their larger populations. At Miles Elementary, which is filled near capacity, there were not enough English language support services to meet the needs of a large population of new immigrants.

Tampa Heights Elementary is a special case. Before a fire gutted the building in 2017, the school was a well-respected magnet with a solid C, and in some years a B.

While the district rebuilt the school, students were housed at nearby Lockhart Elementary, a D school that is also on the state list. Tampa Heights earned two D’s during the transition. And last year, though back at its original location, 61 percent of its students fell below Florida standards on the state reading test.

Despite the many variables, data and interviews point to several factors, outlined below, that may be impacting Hillsborough more than other districts.

Not ready for kindergarten

More than 16,000 students enter kindergarten every year in Hillsborough County. About 4,000 go to district preschool, including the federally funded Head Start program.

What about the other 75 percent? They might be in a commercial preschool, a family day care home, or spending the day with a parent or grandparent. And the knowledge the state demands of a child in kindergarten is growing all the time.

McRae and her team addressed the preschool issue early in what she calls “a slow, systemic approach to really getting to the root causes of failure.”

In Hillsborough, 48 percent of children entering kindergarten are far enough along in their letter sounds, number recognition and other basic skills to expect success. That’s two points below the statewide average of 50 percent. But at the 14 D and F schools, those numbers drop as low as 16.5 percent at Miles Elementary and 16.9 percent at James Elementary.

“When you look community-wise in our inner city core, you don’t see commercialized day care centers,” McRae said. One solution would be to get more preschool seats in the district schools, especially those that have extra room because so many families have left to enroll in choice programs.

Eakins, the former superintendent, had hoped to oversee a major preschool expansion, ideally in the same schools where the children would continue on to kindergarten. He made progress, with enrollment climbing as high as 4,600 children.

But the number plummeted during the pandemic, and now it is back to around 4,000.

Poverty and school boundaries

A 2015 Harvard University study ranked the nation’s 100 largest counties on the basis of a child’s ability to transcend poverty. Hillsborough came in 98th.

Some educators have wondered if the problem in the schools stemmed from the unusual nature of poverty in Hillsborough, that it was more concentrated and more deeply entrenched.

But the study did not say that poverty causes schools to struggle. In fact, in one passage, it suggested inferior schools are one reason why people are poor.

Nevertheless, the 14 D and F schools have a preponderance of students described as low-income.

In drawing boundaries, school leaders seek to keep communities together. And sometimes that intention adds to economic segregation.

One example is Oak Park Elementary, which is being celebrated this year because it rose from an F to a C. It serves an East Tampa neighborhood that includes a domestic violence shelter, a drug rehabilitation center and low-rent motels. In an average Hillsborough school, 3 of every 100 students enrolled in October will be gone in February. At Oak Park, 10 will be gone.

Sulphur Springs, a community north of Tampa’s Seminole Heights neighborhood, has a poverty rate that has been measured at three times the national average, affecting 42 percent of the population and 58 percent of its children.

The community has its own school, which the district expanded from K-5 to K-8 in 2015. The plan was to work with a consortium of charities to revitalize the neighborhood.

Three principals later, Sulphur Springs is looking back at a string of D and F grades. And 58 percent of the students are Level 1 readers.

While Davis was not superintendent at the time, he says that expansion was a mistake. “In that model, you have to get pre-K through 5th grade right before you decide to expand it to a new configuration,” he said.

He also stood by a statement he made in early 2021 about the need for new school boundaries and, if necessary, closing or consolidating schools that are under-enrolled, chronically under-performing, or both.

“If we keep doing the same cut-and-paste application, or system, or body of work, and it’s not moving the needle, you’ve got to think differently,” Davis said. “We’ve got to figure out strategies to be able to put children in situations to be successful.”

Staff turnover

Adams Middle School started the school year with 13 employees who were new to the district.

One, Gary Pate, left after seven weeks teaching special education. It wasn’t for him, despite a long career teaching students with special needs. He appreciated the principal and assistant principals, he said. But he could not tolerate the disrespect shown by a disruptive group of students. In his opinion, the district did not provide enough support.

“It’s a jail, that place,” Pate said. “There’s fights every day.”

Eleven teachers who started at Giunta Middle School this school year later left the district.

High-poverty schools lose talent in spite of the bonus pay, and there is turnover in the principal ranks too. The 14 D and F schools have had 39 principals since 2016. Those on the job now have been there an average of two years.

In education circles, it is commonly understood that a principal needs between three and five years to become established.

McRae said she believes the district has a deep bench of principals, thanks to the work McManus did seven years ago in establishing a “principal pipeline” training program.

One obstacle to continuity: When a school gets a low grade, state regulators often insist that it get a new principal.

Reading: a weak spot

There is a direct connection between Hillsborough’s English/language arts test scores, which are consistently below the state average, and its disproportionately high number of low-performing schools.

For one thing, the test scores are the building blocks for the yearly grades. And reading in particular is the foundation of nearly all other learning.

In 2019, the district commissioned a literacy audit by an educational consulting firm. The report showed numerous flaws in the system.

Teaching the way the district wanted was optional rather than required. Practices differed from one classroom to the next. Digital tools were sometimes used incorrectly and excessively. Top teachers were assigned to grades three to five, while kindergarten through second grade — the most important years for foundational skills — got the less-skilled teachers.

District leaders set out to tighten teaching practices. They were relieved when, after the first pandemic year, Hillsborough’s passing rate in English/language arts dropped by only 4 percentage points. The drop was one point more than the state’s. But Hillsborough officials noted that the learning losses were far worse in other large districts.

The lack of consistency across the district can be especially significant for families who move around and transfer their children midyear.

Despite Davis’ efforts to become more consistent in reading instruction, 27 percent of Hillsborough’s student test-takers scored last year in the lowest range, Level 1. That was 2 points worse than the state average.

Davis and his chief academic officer, Connor, said they are moving as quickly as they can to bring consistency into the system, along with new products and teaching methods that put a greater emphasis on phonics in the early years.

The process becomes difficult, they said, because in addition to the disruption of COVID-19, the state is adopting new academic targets to replace the Florida Standards, which was a variation of Common Core.

“So now we have new standards, new curriculum and a pandemic, all at once,” Connor said.

Too many choices

The Times calculated the 14 schools’ “stay rates,” a term referring to the percentage of children who lived in a school’s attendance area and remained instead of opting for a magnet school, charter school or another traditional district school.

Strong schools tend to have high stay rates because their communities have confidence in them. Westchase Elementary School, for example, keeps 89 percent of its neighborhood students. Gorrie Elementary in South Tampa keeps 92 percent.

The 14 D and F schools had rates as low as 39 percent at Giunta Middle and 45 percent at Adams Middle.

In sheer numbers, 1,248 students left Giunta for these other options. There were 316 who left James, and 584 who left Robles.

When a large percentage of families go elsewhere, a school can lose parents who are likely to be involved as volunteers and children who may have the most advantages outside of school.

David Colon, a social studies teacher, worked at Adams Middle nearly a decade ago and then returned this past year.

In that time, Adams’ enrollment dropped by nearly half. But the smaller numbers did not help the school, Colon said.

He had high praise for the administrators and students. But he found the atmosphere at Adams depressing, with classrooms going unused and not enough adults in the hallways between classes.

“Children know when they’re being shortchanged,” Colon said. “I’d hear them say, ‘My friend is going to a charter school’ or ‘My friend is going to choice school.’ They’ll brag about their schools. I’ve heard the kids say, ‘My friends go to an A school and this is a D and an F school.’”

The district leaders did not deny that the options for families can sap a school of resources, including involved parents.

But, they said, they have to accept this kind of marketplace of school choices. For one thing, state leaders are encouraging the proliferation of independent charter schools, and scholarships for private schools.

“If we don’t create choice, then we won’t compete,” Davis said. That’s why he is determined to use whatever funds are available to make the Transformation Network schools competitive.

No silver bullet

It’s impossible to tell, from the data available, if teacher qualification is part of the problem.

State evaluation reports show 99 percent and sometimes 100 percent of the teachers in the lowest-graded schools are deemed “highly effective” or “effective.”

But in another set of documents, called School Improvement Reports, principals have noted teacher shortcomings: A writing teacher who cannot grade essays, a science teacher who does not know fifth-grade math, and numerous cases where teachers knew the material, but did not design effective classroom lessons.

Teachers, in the interviews, typically said classes were too big, especially in schools where children are a year or more behind in their skills; or when behavior is disruptive.

Some did not like to have coaches and specialists second-guessing them instead of rolling up their sleeves and teaching. Many agreed with union president Rob Kriete, who suggested the district turn coaching positions into teaching positions.

Davis and Connor, however, said the research does not support the idea that better results come from smaller classes.

They said they have moved away from a past system of mentors and evaluators, who were sometimes seen as judgmental, and into one that employs “content specialists” who can help teachers achieve better results. What’s more, they said, the teaching coaches work with small groups of children during the second half of the school year, when state testing kicks in.

Davis said he believes the district has made advancements in a number of key areas: recruiting good teachers and principals; helping teachers master content and align it with the state standards; improving relationships with parents and communities; and using test data to give students the instruction they need, in real time.

But as much as he wanted to congratulate his team, he said, “the silver bullet doesn’t exist.”

Education in Tampa: educational institutions: primary, secondary, higher

Tampa is one of the largest cities in the state of Florida, located in the southeastern part of the United States. Florida is known not only as a major tourist center, but also as a center of education. International students choose Florida for its high quality education and excellent living conditions. Let’s focus on the educational institutions of Tampa – the best schools and universities in the United States are located here, including the largest university in the state – University of South Florida .

Education in Tampa – advantages and prospects

  • International students come to the US for quality and relevant programs, prestigious certificates and diplomas. Tampa is no exception: a high level of education and top schools are the main reason for the city’s popularity.
  • Excellent financial support from the state and individuals allows schools and universities to improve their infrastructure and keep it up to date.
  • The training system is characterized by a focus on practical knowledge, comprehensiveness, education of leadership qualities, and competitiveness.
  • The mild climate, beautiful beaches, multicultural environment and many attractions make studying especially comfortable.

Schooling in Tampa

Tampa has public and private schools that differ in tuition fees. More often, foreign students prefer to study in private boarding schools, because boarding houses solve organizational issues: where the child will live, who will be his official representative, whether he will be able to adapt to the new education system and whether he will receive high-quality training. Private schools in Tampa create comfortable conditions for foreigners: the guys get enough attention from teachers, study in small classes and live on school grounds.

Such conditions help schoolchildren to adapt faster, which effectively affects academic performance. Children in America spend one year more at school than Russian children and, if desired, go through an in-depth Advanced Placement program. AP, or Advanced Placement, is a course for high school students of increased complexity, where children study specialized subjects at the first year of the university and receive advantages when entering universities.

Best Tampa Boarding Schools

Tampa is home to some of the best boarding schools in the United States with unique opportunities, such as:

  • Academy IMG Private School offers a unique program that combines curriculum with professional tennis and golf training. World-class athletes, US champions and Olympic participants have graduated from the academy. Most of the students are foreigners.
  • Another unique educational institution – Admiral Farragut Academy . This is one of two specialized schools in the United States with in-depth training in naval affairs. The educational institution has many author’s courses in scuba diving, oceanology, aviation and navigation. Here you will find STEM programs, AP, cadet class. The school accepts boys and girls over 15 years of age.
  • After grade 11, students enter a pre-university preparatory course, such as the University Pathway at INTO University of South Florida.

Higher education in Tampa

The American system of higher education has a number of differences from the Russian one. Students independently draw up a study plan, choose disciplines and decide when to take exams. A lot of time is devoted to self-study of subjects. Teachers are waiting for their own opinion and active position. American law allows students to earn extra money, but not more than 20 hours a week.

Students who are in the US on an F-1 visa are eligible for an internship in their field of study. Often, young specialists look for a permanent job during their internship in order to stay in the country. At the universities of Tampa, you will find a number of scholarship programs and grants from universities, commercial and non-profit companies (Fullbright, Global Ugrad, Florida International University and others). Thanks to good funding, Tampa universities have a developed infrastructure: laboratories, technically equipped classrooms, swimming pools, sports grounds.

Tampa’s Leading Universities

The city is home to the state’s largest universities:

  • INTO University of South Florida is the 44th largest public university in the United States. You can get bachelor’s and master’s degrees here in various fields: management, sociology, art, natural sciences, business, medicine and engineering.
  • Florida Polytechnic University is one of 12 emerging STEM universities in the state.
  • The University of Tampa is a prestigious university with an international reputation in medicine, business, social sciences, literature and the arts.

    • How many classes are there in Korean school

    For a Korean citizen, his whole future life depends on a good education, therefore, education here is treated very responsibly and thoughtfully. The education system in South Korea is organized very comfortably, so many foreigners also want to study in this country.

    The Korean education system is based on the following principles

    Primary education and the first three years of high school are compulsory in the country. The school is designed for 12 grades, the minimum is to complete 9.

    Little Koreans begin to prepare for school in kindergarten at the age of 3-6. Children of 6 years old are allowed to primary education, slight age deviations are possible.

    Primary school – 1-6 grades, 6-12 year olds study here. All subjects are taught by one teacher. The emphasis is on native traditions and culture, on Korean and English, on mathematics, and on social sciences.

    Secondary school – 7-9 grades, teenagers aged 13-15 study. Different teachers teach history, ethics, home economics, computer literacy, physical education and other subjects in addition to the subjects that were in elementary school.

    If the family decides to continue their studies, the student moves to an advanced level of secondary school, these are grades 10-12. Here they study such specializations as technical and natural sciences, in-depth foreign language, art history and others. They leave school in Korea at the age of 18.

    The academic year consists of two semesters:

    • March 1 – mid-July;
    • late August – mid February.
    When there is no study, the children are on vacation.

    Distinctions of education in Korea

    This amazing country is full of peculiarities in various spheres of life, and the sphere of education has not done without them.
    The state closely takes care of its young citizens, this begins even with preschool education. In particular, there are gardens where children are admitted at the age of three days, this is a unique phenomenon.

    In kindergartens, kids are comprehensively developed, while in order to improve health, they focus on physical education, and for the development of creative abilities – on learning songs.

    In Korea, it is customary to change the composition of teachers frequently so that the habit of working in one place does not develop, and also to ensure constant rotation in order to homogenize the education system. So in Korea, the chances of all children to enter a university are equalized, so that everyone has both strong and average teachers.

    Secondary and higher schools can be either public or private. Primary schools are public only.

    Transfer exams from level to level are not difficult, for most students they are easily overcome.

          US education system: structure and features

          To the list of articles

          Education in the USA

          The US education system is characterized by flexibility and democracy: with a high variety of programs, students – both schoolchildren and students – have the opportunity to independently choose the disciplines they study, as well as change their specialization. Even at the university, you can move from one faculty to another, study additional subjects and create your own educational program.

          Early childhood education in the US

          Early childhood education in the United States begins almost from the cradle. In nursery or kindergarten children can be sent from the age of 6 months. There he can be from six in the morning to six in the evening. Unlike Russian kindergartens, a child can be taken to kindergarten after school, since by law, until the age of 12, he cannot be at home alone. All kindergartens in America are paid, the average monthly fee is about $1,200.

          For children from three to five years old, “preparatory groups” operate at schools. At this stage, much attention will be paid to general development, socialization, as well as literature, since the preschool education system sets itself the task of teaching the child reading skills in the first place.

          However, kindergarten and pre-school classes are still an optional step. Compulsory education in America begins at school and lasts 12 years.

          US school system

          Unlike many countries, there is no single educational plan in America: in general, the plan forms the board of education under the state administration, more precisely determines the board of a particular school.

          School education in the USA is divided into three stages:

          • primary (grades 1-5) – children study basic compulsory subjects, play sports and creative work.
          • secondary : Middle School (grades 6-8) or Junior High School (7-9classes) – in addition to compulsory subjects, elective disciplines appear.
          • senior classes : High School (9-12) or Senior High School (11-12) – reduction in the number of compulsory subjects, maximum freedom in the choice of disciplines studied. For the last 2 years, gifted students can study Advanced Placement programs. At the end of High School, an American student will have to take the SAT exam (Scholastic Aptitude Test).

          Depending on the state, children start school between the ages of five and eight. As a rule, each of the stages of the American school has its own building and is a completely separate educational institution.

          The academic year in an American school is divided into two semesters. The duration of training sessions is 5-6 hours a day with a lunch break. Afternoon time is most often devoted to sports, clubs and other community service, which are a mandatory component of American school education. Grades are given in alphabetical form: A, B, C, D, F will be equivalent to Russian grades from five to two.

          Unlike the US higher education system, which is the world leader, the school sector is valued contraversively. On the one hand, the set of compulsory subjects is small: among them are mathematics, English, science, history, art, physical education.

          On the other hand, students have a huge choice of specialized classes : from theater to ecology. This list also includes foreign languages. Many schools offer 90,003 advanced programs to high school students (Advanced Placement): the most motivated and capable students can additionally study a particular subject at the university level. Thus, the US school system is good for those who want to learn, but is not aimed at the general increase in education in the country.

          Public and private schools in the USA

          According to the type of funding, schools in the USA are divided into public (public schools) and private (private schools). The level of teaching in the state varies greatly not only from state to state, but even within the same city. The fact is that funding for public schools comes from the district budget (most often from property taxes). As a result, schools in “expensive” areas are well endowed and, as a result, well-equipped, with a strong teaching staff and overall high academic performance. Since, according to US law, a child can only attend the school to which he belongs in the place of residence, such a system leads to an increase in the value of real estate in areas with “strong” schools. Taxes increase, the school receives even more funding. The situation is reversed in “cheap” areas: lack of funding leads to the fact that schools remain weak.

          Private schools are financially independent organizations that receive subsidies from sponsors and also charge tuition fees. A high level of funding helps to maintain a high level of academic achievement: excellent facilities, strong teaching staff and small class sizes make these institutions the “cradles” of future diplomats, politicians and top managers. The education received here opens the door to most of the top universities in the world. It is worth saying that the number of US citizens in private schools is often less than 50%: they are of greater interest to foreign students. This is partly due to the country’s immigration laws: a foreigner can study in a public school only if the family moves to America and has a residence permit, or if the student participates in a one-year exchange program.

          Significant differences between elite private schools and “average” public schools also add to the general heterogeneity in America’s secondary education.

          Higher education in the US

          The US higher education system includes colleges and universities – private and public. According to international rankings, most of them are among the best educational institutions in the world. It is worth replacing that, unlike the European education system, in America there is no qualitative difference between a college and a university. For example, even Harvard, which ranked first in 2016, is actually divided into schools, colleges and institutes. The only difference is that colleges offer only undergraduate programs, while universities and institutes provide an opportunity to engage in scientific research and continue an academic career in master’s (1-2 years), postgraduate (3 to 6 years) and research after defending a doctoral dissertation . If the student’s specialization is related to medicine, legal or theological education, the training scheme is somewhat different: upon completion of the bachelor’s program, the student can enter a higher professional school. Similar educational institutions exist at large universities, the duration of study in them is 3 years.

          Technical institutes and community colleges are classified as vocational education (similar to Russian vocational schools), but they can serve as the first stage of higher education if, after studying in them, a student is transferred to a university for a bachelor’s degree program. As a rule, the transfer is carried out on the 2nd or 3rd course.

          The US higher education system is even more free than schools. Most universities do not accept students to a specific faculty, but simply to the university. However, applicants most often choose the university that is strongest in the area they plan to study. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is famous for its developments in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence, but if plans have changed, you can study history, theater, and literature there. This is due to the fact that during the first two years a student can take almost any course offered within the walls of an educational institution. The only requirement is a sufficient number of earned “credits” ( credits ), which the student receives for successfully mastered disciplines. In the 3rd year, you need to decide on your specialization and choose major – the main area of ​​\u200b\u200bprofessional interests. It is on this that the diploma will be obtained. However, due to the fact that the student is free to form his own curriculum, in the United States it is possible to obtain the rarest specialties at the intersection of various professions.

          Democracy in the formation of the curriculum, however, implies a fairly disciplined attitude to learning: this includes attending classes, and timely delivery of all control and research papers. Special attention is paid to the latter in the US higher education system: in addition to lectures and seminars familiar to Russians, students of American universities have to spend a lot of time on research or projects. Often they are performed not individually, but by a group of students: in the USA they are sure that training can be built not only according to the “teacher-to-student” scheme, but also “from student to student”. Also, such work develops the ability to work in a team, which is highly valued not only in the educational environment, but also subsequently by employers.

          Last but not least, the factor that has made the American system of higher education so revered throughout the world is financial and material support. It allows not only to maintain the excellent equipment of universities, but also to maintain a staff of really strong teachers, who often come to the United States from other countries.

          All together – a strong academic background, the ability to choose disciplines based on their own professional plans, the focus of education on real sectors of the economy – allows the system of higher education in the United States to remain the strongest in the world.

          Interesting: US Universities for Russians

          The education system in America is heterogeneous. US primary and secondary public schools do not always inspire confidence. They offer a set of basic subjects that a gifted student is likely to find insufficient. Parents who want their children to have successful careers prefer to send them to private schools. However, American universities and colleges, both private and public, top the world rankings year after year. They combine the democratic nature of the educational process and a high level of education, so a purposeful student can be sure that he will get exactly what he needs from his studies.

          The best schools in Finland: part 1 :: UNIF.pro

          The best schools in Finland: part 1 :: UNIF.pro

          November 7, 2018

          There are two different lyceum/gymnasium rankings in Finland. The first of them is formed on the basis of the average score of the results of compulsory subjects passed in state exams. When compiling the second, the grades of the basic education certificate are compared with the results of the final exams of the exams of classes where instruction is conducted in Finnish.

          Salla School’s international coordinator Sirkka Takkunen, with whom we spoke the other day, considers it more fair, so in the first part of the selection of the best schools in Finland we will talk about it.

          In the spring of 2018, the ranking was topped by Savukoski School in Lapland. Savukoski is the most sparsely populated municipality in the country. Only 1200 people live here. How did a school in the outback bypass the capital’s lyceums and why are the top positions in the top more and more often given to small educational institutions? Directors and students shared their opinions.

          Rector Savukoski Jukka Taipale attributes the success of his students to the special atmosphere in the team. Here they listen to the students, and do not tell them what to do.

          – I think this is our strength. Everyone in the villages knows each other very well.

          – Final exams are only once in a lifetime, so I wanted to invest my time in them. You can go far if you repeat the main questions on subjects in advance. The result will be if you prepare on time, – Savukoski graduate Onni Paananen is convinced. He came second in the exam.

          – What is good in Finnish schools, – continues the rector of Taipale, is their level of teaching: it is equally high throughout the country. Ultimately, your academic success is up to you, not where you went to school.

          Finnish Christian Secondary School came second. Applicant Mikael Takama is sure that the reason is precisely the location of the educational institution. The desire to show that even in small towns they are capable of great achievements, makes students try harder.

          – We set ourselves a goal and went towards it, but in many respects this is the merit of our teachers, who additionally studied with us. It’s important that teachers know the students and genuinely care about their success, Takamaa says.

          Rector for Academic Affairs Leif Hongisto praised the students for the right attitude.

          – If the children themselves did not have the enthusiasm and desire to absorb knowledge, the teacher could at least stand over them with a stick – zero sense.

          Third place shared by Swedish Cathedral School (Katedralskola) in Turkku and Topelius Gymnasium in Uusikaarlepyu. Both were in the top ten last year as well. Director of Katedralskola Marianna Pärnanen believes that the most important thing is that teachers and students love the school.

          – There are so many people in society and in the world that the general welfare should be a priority. The goal of the school is to produce worthy people who will succeed in society.

          According to Marianna, this is more valuable than high places and awards.
