No better way to start off the school year than with a rally.
Parents and Communities United for Education is organizing a rally on Tuesday, Sept. 8 to protest what they see as the poor education provided to Jersey City high school students.
They say that four our Jersey City's six high schools are "failing our children," more than 450 students drop out each year, one out of every three high school students in Jersey City does not graduate on time and the average SAT score in Jersey City is 86 points below the state average in math, and 91 points below the state average in verbal.
Ready to join their cause? Here are the details of the rally:
Where: Public School No. 11, 886 Bergen Avenue
When: Tuesday, Sept. 8, noon - 1 p.m.
