[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is kind of nuts. Look at Carson Middle School. 85% of it's students are already at 9 or 10 on test scores (on a scale of 10 being the highest group in the state). Yet, because the groups that make up that 85% (Asian, White, and mixed-2-or-more-racial-groups) didn't make much "progress," Carson is rated as a "6"! Sucks when you are already at the top and it still isn't good enough for GS. You need to make MORE progress to exceed the parameters of the measurement, apparently![/quote] Welcome to being a teacher. These are the same absurd expectations we lived through with No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and all the other federal "accountability" programs. Too bad no one noticed until Great Schools did it.[/quote]
