[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the 25-kid threshold does not promote transparency in the reporting.

It's also important to note how many grades/kids comprise the testing population, especially for the charters. At MV, it's only 3rd grade. At YY, it's 3rd-5th. At ITS, it's 3rd-6th. Not sure if the Two Rivers stats include all of the middle school kids, but I bet they do. Etc.

And that the scores, generally, go down as the kids age, for whatever reason.  So it's only really fair to compare similar grades. Halfway down:

"The strongest scores were in the earliest grades: 30 percent of third-graders scored a 4 or better, compared to 21 percent of sixth-graders. Middle school scores were the lowest"[/quote]

Yes, this. I think it's terrible that OSSE decided to aggregate the reporting of all of these grades together, when some schools only offer 3-5, others offer 3-8, and other offer 5-8 or 6-8 or some combination thereof.[/quote]

Calm down. OSSE released the grade by grade results too -look at their links (and also broke out by special needs, race/ethnicity and econ at risk. Be annoyed with the Post which is only reporting the aggregate scores by school.[/quote]
