"In our district, in the last couple of years, the Core schools' scores have gone up. There is no way that I could ever believe that a school implementing Core Knowledge would lower its test scores. Core lends itself to good teaching. The teachers get enthusiastic and the kids get enthusiastic. That positive creates more positive."Charles Watson, Principal, Vista Elementary
