Yes I am lucky. I live about 1.5 miles from the school where Bush signed No Child Left Behind into law. So how is this area’s children doing?

Poverty levels are down in Hamilton and Middletown, but figures across the rest of Butler County are not as promising, according to data released Wednesday.
