I think you failed to mention that students purposely chose not to do as well because they saw it as something that really didn’t matter amid AP and IN exams. I remember reading an article about it. I’m posting it here. Thought the article cites Whimtnan there were plenty of W and top schools in the county where students didn’t really take PARCC serious.

From the second article, “[b]On Monday, she and four other Montgomery County high school students spoke in Annapolis during a forum about the impact of the PARCC tests. The kids say they aren’t against testing, but they saw problems in how instruction paired with the contents and software of the test. They felt it was one more hoop to jump through, for no reason, since the results wouldn’t count towards their grades or graduation.[/b]

[b][quote]Wouldn’t SWW students feel the same way?[/quote][/quote][/b]

Unless there were news artciles about it. I don't think we can count it as anecdotal data. [/quote]
