[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for sharing. Tommy Wells is fond of saying that even without upper-middle-class families in testing grades at a particular Hill school, test scores can be high, using J.O Wilson as the paragon. Such BS. The scores I find the most telling are those published by the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP), an education think tank working w/the US Dept. of Education to test a small percentage of students in every state, and DC, in reading and math at 4th and 8th grade. While the DC-CAS shows around 1/3 of white kids testing "advanced" in both reading and math, and 5-6% of black kids at both levels, the NAEP assessments show a significantly wider gap, with more than 1/3 of white kids testing advanced in both subjects, and only 1% of black kids testing advanced in math and 2% in reading. The wider gap suggests widespread cheating on the DC-CAS. I'll be watching for LT's new scores, in August. [/quote]
