Nightmare at JHS 80

Teachers at JHS 80 have screamed for help. They say they fear for their lives, citing rampant violence and unsafe conditions at their school. And most of its kids can’t pass the state tests. So what does Team de Blasio do? Praise JHS 80’s “progress” and graduate it out of the mayor’s signature Renewal schoo-lturnaround program.

No joke: As Susan Edelman and Sara Dorn reported in Sunday’s Post, teachers at the Bronx school have been begging for someone to do something about conditions there before it’s too late. Principal Emmanuel Polanco has been sweeping the horrors under the rug, they say.

“We are in fear for our lives and safety,” one teacher wrote a union rep. Another reached out to the FBI, pleading for it to probe Polanco and calling him “an extreme danger” to teachers, staff and kids.

Staffers note the constant fights; disruptive kids allowed to run wild; mold, grime, rust and rats — and administrators who try to cover it all up.

The city Department of Education is investigating allegations that a sixth-grader passed out after two eighth-graders dropped him on his head, and school brass tried to make it seem like an accident.

In another, Polanco and a security guard “slammed” a seventh-grader to the ground, she and her mother claim. (A teacher also reported the brawl to DOE.)

JHS 80 should’ve been closed years ago. Instead, the city put it into the Renewal program, which is meant to turn around Gotham’s worst schools. Since 2014, Mayor de Blasio has dumped more than half a billion dollars on 94 Renewal schools, including JHS 80.

And now the school is “graduating” from Renewal — because “only” 80 percent of its kids bomb English, instead of 95 percent in 2014, while 85 percent flunk math, vs. 93 percent. (Never mind that the tests got easier in between.)

That’s “progress” in Blas Land: Set the bar low, cite meaningless “gains” and claim success at a school that’s still a disaster.

In the wake of The Post’s exposé, the City Council will probe JHS 80. Yet Team de Blasio is “encouraged” by the school: It “has a long way to go,” a mayoral aide said, but it’s “on the right track.” Have they no shame?
