Dedication

I think I have finally figured out what all the secrecy is about.  I saw a story on Fox13 last year and hadn't been able to get any follow-up information on this jewel  of a school system here in Memphis. This is proof-positive that inner-city children can do as well or better if given the same opportunities. After two years of  hearing how children in the MCS can't learn. We have some of the highest performing students in the nation, not just the county, from the city schools. So much for the notion that poor children can't learn.

Now to why I think it has been kept such a secret, The Jubilee schools fall under the bigger umbrella of  Memphis Catholic  Diocese. They do their part for charity and benevolence. What isn't made clear is they run a much larger system for profit. They don;t want to overrun the system with students who can't pay. The families pay according to their ability. Which isn't the standard tuition. The Jubilee schools are ran solely on donations. The parents don't pay with money but it isn't free. What the families lack in money they make up for in dedication.
