[quote=Anonymous]PP: Actually, SOL passing is probably not a reasonable measure. That is telling how many kids hit the minimum standard, and has little to do with how much the kids learn. A much better measure would be how much the children learn during the year. I also think these scores should be weighted for demographics (when determining which school is the best). I would expect ESOL, special ed, etc to do worse on the test, and AAP to do better. Louise Archer (DD's school) scores very well, 97% passing. But, from 3-6 grade, there are 4 classes of AAP to 2 General Ed. Assuming all of the AAP students pass. Based on the 5th grade class lists, there are about 110 kids in AAP and 45 in general ed. So about 90% of the gen ed students pass, which is not bad, but not 97%[/quote]
