Is your city a leader in education reform?

A new report by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute is challenging the popular perception of the best American cities in school reform. According to Newsweek, Fordham eschewed ranking cities by test scores and dropout rates in favor of how responsive they were to new reform ideas, and the report card isn’t exactly glowing. Urban centers like Philadelphia, Boston and Milwaukee -- three locales previously considered leaders in the field – received middling-to-low marks, and no single city earned higher than a B. Parents, how do you think your own cities have measured up? Do you believe your city’s school system is progressive and sufficiently amenable to problem-solving?
