Summary: Prince Rupert' s Roosevelt Park Elementary School recently found itself at the bottom of the list in the Fraser Institute' s ranking of BC elementary schools. In response, principal Steve Riley invites Mark Kelley to take a closer look at his troubled school. In his short tenure, Mark comes up against some tough questions. In a primarily First Nations community with severe unemployment and few prospects, is it possible Roosevelt Park is the worst school because its community has some of the worst problems? And what' s more important, is there a future for kids who have been labelled the worst?
