[quote=Anonymous]I (not a L-T parent) think it's just no use resurrecting all kinds of old experiences and much more useful to get current and up to date information from teachers, parents, and staff currently there. Things change so fast at many schools! L-T test scores have always been odd. In one meeting I participated, my impression was that L-T very aggressively got children declared special needs and waived from regular DC-CAS testing. Those students became subject to "port-folio" assessments, which by all accounts may be the more appropriate way to assess true progress for special needs children. I'm not sure this is cheating; it's more of a "strategic use of available tools". But it makes those test scores completely incomparable. The lower grades, now slowly entering the testing cohorts, are better grounds for comparison if that's what you want to bank your insight on (I for one wouldn't).[/quote]
