[quote=Anonymous]Congrats to this talented and dedicated teacher and all the others receiving the award.  But this is not a hard data point.  It is a subjective assessment of one teacher.  Unfortunately, because of doubts cast because of high numbers of erasures on DC cas tests at LT along with spiking and falling test scores along with the general un reliability of the DC cas scores evidenced by the current controversy over different scoring metrics and cut scores there are no HARD data points that prospective parents can look at.

If I was considering LT and was trying to evaluate the quality of the academic program in the upper grades there is only one place I would go after observing the teaching for myself.  I would go talk to the 6th grade teachers who receive the LT graduates in their new middle schools.  I would ask those teachers how well prepared, in general, they have found students from LT.  Are they prepared and ready to handle tough work in 6th grade?  Can they write well?  Do they deeply understand math concepts? Can they read a complicated science text and make sense of it?

Of course subjective but more reliable than the hard data pointed to on this thread.[/quote]
