A 'Bad' School

What makes a school bad? And who is really to blame?  A six part series from the Louisville Courier Journal on a school integration plan gone awry.

In the age of school choice, reputation is everything. And a school's reputation is often built upon test scores, school rankings and word of mouth in a community.

And when there's a bad school, there's always a good school to compare it to.

A six-episode podcast by The Courier Journal explores how these vastly different schools represent an integration plan gone awry. Through the stories of kids, teachers, administrators, community members and alumni, the series shows how a school's "good" or "bad" reputation develops, and who’s really to blame.
