[quote=Anonymous]The apologists will tell you that the seniors intentionally tanked the PARCCs to protest standardized testing, but that explanation doesn't really hold up considering that the scores were low across racial and economic groups. That is, I would believe one subset of kids getting together and blowing off the PARCC, but every single group of kids in the school? It's just not plausible. Also, if you look at the (small number) of poor kids at Whitman, they do really poorly as compared to poor kids at other area high schools. Since you can assess a school based on how it is doing for kids who don't have extra tutoring, and kids who presumably can't afford extra tutoring are doing worse at Whitman than most of the other schools in the area, I think this is actually a problem with the school.
