[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not impressed by the bell curve either because what it takes to get a 3, 4, or 5 is terrifyingly low.

Its measuring grade level proficiency not performance or academic achievement. A school with a 4 and a 66% means that 44% of the school is not measuring in at grade level proficiency. A 3 requires just over half of your school passing which conversely means that almost half of the rest of school is failing. [/quote]
What are you looking at that that states that 66% is the grade level proficiency?

Points were based ...  "on factors such as chronic absenteeism, graduation rates, access to a well-rounded education and academic achievement on the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) tests.

To achieve a five-star ranking, a school must receive more than 74 percent of [b]available points.[/b] "  ie, the things mentioned above. It's not just purely about test scores.
