School test scores… like ’em or not, they’re out for the 2009/2010 year

[Coronita]

Also….

My question is…
For a school like Sage, which one group does 999, how the heck does one do better next year? Maybe I should just send my kid there and bring down the scores in that group… lol…

Never a big fan of these API tests. That’s what public schools do these days. Prepare kids to do well on API tests…Frinkin bean counters.

As a parent of 2 Curie students… It’s a good school – but demographics play a MUCH larger role in the test scores than the teachers…

It seems like most Curie parents have PhDs, Typical parents are scientists, academics, engineers. Not a lot of blue collar types. Kind of scary how uber-educated the parents are. Very homongenous student body from a socio economic standpoint (which I think is kind of a bad thing for the students.)

My sister teaches at Spreckels – because it’s a spanish language magnet you have a lot more english learners, kids from lower socio economic backgrounds, etc. But it’s also a “seminar” school – meaning there’s a subset of super smart kids, too.

So high scoring schools have a large white population followed by asians.

That’s the formula.

I think the scores are BS. I see the the school that my wife was teaching at ranked in the 7 range. I used to have to help her grade papers and there’s no way those kids could score higher than the 2 range. My wife has taught at 3 other elementary schools, teaching 3rd grade, so i know moron 3rd graders by their work.
