[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BRING. BACK. TEST. SCORES. It is well documented that (1) test scores predict success; (2) they are not sullied by subjective teacher personality and school culture nonsense (eg schools that have their shit together ride teachers to produce good and on-time recs); (3) prep is associated with parental income but test scores are one of the most fair predictors of success *including for low-income students* bc a good score from a low resourced env signals success, even if the absolute number is lower than a high score from a kid from a wealthier background. [/quote] 100%. Test scores and give a bump for kids at T1 schools and for at-risk kids. If that drives parents to send their kids to T1 schools, so much the better.[/quote] This is exactly what Lowell in SF does. (they quickly reversed on the no-test thing).[/quote]
