What's the ideal size for high school?

Poll: The future of public education in NYC?

after-school-poll.bmpThere's some great news in this week's poll: a majority -- 43 percent -- of your schools offer high-quality, after-school programs!

However, 25 percent of you feel your school's programs need improvement, and 23 percent don't even have a school-based program. These figures are aligned with the results of Afterschool Alliance's recent survey, America After 3pm, which found that one-quarter of American students are without much-needed after-school activities.

As we're all now aware, Mayor Bloomberg will retain his mayoral seat for a third term. Following this week's elections, we'd love to know how you feel about the future of the New York City educational system. Vote now!
