[quote=Anonymous]Those school systems have posted gains in elementary reading and math proficiency by a 'return to basics' model including intensive outreach and refusal to advance children who don't meet 3rd grade standards on an end of year assessment. These are important considerations for any school district, but to my knowledge, they haven't yet impacted high school graduation rates in those states (which are still far behind the DC metro area). Also, the cost of implementing those same types of staffing and supports in this region would be met with massive public resistance (sadly).[/quote]
