Garland district will revamp middle school that targets students struggling with reading and math
The Garland (Texas) school board has voted to close and revamp Memorial Preparatory School as part of an overhaul of the district's education programs for at-risk students. The school serves 200 sixth- through eighth-graders with low math and reading scores. Memorial will close after its current sixth-graders graduate in 2010. The school will reopen that fall as a nontraditional middle school for students at high risk of dropping out.
