[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers and administrators within the school would have the info to break down SOL scores classroom by classroom, but this is not public information.  (Nor should it be!)  If there were truly a problem of one AAP classroom lagging behind all the others, it would be flagged for attention as part of the teacher's evaluation.  Schools with a center rely on those AAP classrooms to bump up the school's average, and would not let something like that slide.

That said, AAP centers do differ from one another, sometimes substantially.  Small centers or centers in high-poverty schools have different challenges than larger centers with higher-income PTAs.  While there are terriffic teachers in every school in the county, statisitcally there are bound to be a larger number of creative (i.e., non-worksheet) teachers in a larger school who collaborate thier peers.  Principals also have alot of influence on how teachers teach.

OP here - when I asked about comparing SOL scores, I meant between AAP classes in one center and another and not within a center.  The latter would obviously not be public knowledge.  Sorry for not being clear earlier.[/quote]
