Cincinnati Pilot Schools
Cincinnati Schools are pleased to announce that three area schools have been selected to participate in a nationwide pilot program to improve teacher quality. The three Cincinnati Public Schools chosen include John P. Parker School in Madisonville, South Avondale School in Avondale, and Whittier School in Price Hill. All the schools were chosen based on their federal ranking within the No Child Left Behind Act. The program is intended to show the strong influence that quality instruction has on student achievement as well as developing professional opportunities for teachers to hone their skills and receive rewards for their hard work.
