What Grade Do You Give Pleasant Hill Public Schools?

It’s something that’s boggled politicians and policy wonks for years. While many Californians believe that the state’s public education system is broken, a majority of voters exclude their own local public schools from that diagnosis.

Consider the results of a survey released last week by the Public Policy Institute of California. Even as a majority of likely voters told researchers that they are concerned about what budget cuts will mean for public schools, 57 percent of likely voters opposed raising state income taxes to pay for public education. That may be explained by another finding in the PPIC’s survey: 60 percent of public school parents in the state give their local public schools an A or a B.

What do you think? Would you give the same good grades to the public schools in Pleasant Hill?
