[quote=Anonymous]I think McKinley Tech is a great school and I wish that my kid had been more interested in it. He was turned off by the tech focus. On test scores, it's pretty easy to create a proxy for those "higher math kids who don't take the CAPE." A total of 375 kids took an ELA test. 280 were proficient. Assume that is the N for all 9th/10th graders. (For the record, this is a HUGE proficiency increase since last year, like 20%.) A total of 300 kids took Algebra 1 or Geometry. 80 were proficient on those tests. So the number of "missing" kids is 75. If we assume all of those kids are the math high-fliers, the top number of 9th/10th graders proficient in math (per CAPE) is 155 (41%). I actually think that the number of kids testing proficient is was more important than the overall rate of proficiency. What the data shows me is that there are likely at least 50 kids per grade who are on grade level in math and ELA. I think that is solid.[/quote]
