poll: Grade the Providence Schools -Your Turn

For the past 6 months, Providence Schools have been rocked by what seems like an endless series of controversies. All of the teachers were fired, schools are closed, the superintendent resigned, other schools have been targeted for having failed minimum standards, and now the chair of the school committee has resigned.
In a recent study conducted by GoLocalProv, one Providence high school - Mt. Pleasant was ranked the lowest of the 51 public schools in Rhode Island.
