[quote=Anonymous]"Seems to me that the small number of 5th graders couldn't have impacted the overall number that much if the testing for the lower grades showed a much higher percentage of proficient." The only way to get the crux of the matter is to look at the break-down of scores by grade and race. That will be possible shortly. No doubt the 5th grade scores had an impact, remains to be seen how great. Sad commentary or not, times they are a changin' on the Hill, so perhaps best to focus on the possibilities. I was once a low SES-AA kid in predominantly white, high-SES school, best thing that ever happened to me. My brother's children attend a suburban Boston public school where OOB kids must score "advanced" on MA standardized tests to be admitted. Almost no controversy about the policy and these kids are welcomed although some are low SES AA kids from projects (coming out of G/T programs, KIPP schools etc). I would embrace such a policy at Brent. [/quote]
