Very interesting. When you look at the grade breakdown for Pine Spring Elementary (first link), this is what you get: 
Grade 3=2 Grade 4=5 Grade 5=5 Grade 6=7 Grade 7=8

The reason it's interesting is because PS is K-6, yet there is a rating for 7th grade. So I'm not sure these scores have much credibility or value.

But assuming they do, the steady increase of scores in each grade only tells me that lots of kids struggle in the lower grades, when most of them get to the school (and considering the ESOL and FARMS population of this school I would be suprised if that were not the case), but by the end of their elementary years, these kids have made huge academic improvement. If that does not speak to the quality of education, I don't know what does. [/quote]
