[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Note from Whitman principal:

Dear Parents and Students:

As many of you know, Whitman High School was not a part of the most recent US and NEWS World Report annual rankings of high schools.  I was dismayed, so I made inquiries as to why we were not ranked.  Yesterday I was informed that despite high test scores on other assessments, such as the SAT and AP Tests, Whitman did not reach a threshold projected by US and News Report on two State PARCC tests.  I was surprised that pilot State assessments are part of the formula for ranking, but they are.  While the pilot tests were given, the State had indicated that the students just had to sit for the test, and some of our students apparently did not take the tests as seriously as they should.

I am confident that our students will perform on future tests in the manner to which you and I are accustomed.  I also am confident that despite not being in this particular ranking, we have been and will remain [b]a superior school[/b] in academics, [b]athletics[/b], extracurricular activities, and [b]in acts of kindness[/b].[/quote]
Whatever the Whitman principal was smoking when he stated the bolded part, I want some of that.[/quote]
