School Report Cards Released

Three city schools scored high marks on report cards released Thursday by education watchdogs ConnCAN.
ConnCAN (the Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now) graded how well the state’s schools performed in 2008 in “overall improvements in student performance,” and “how well they served their low-income, African American and Hispanic students.”

One city school, King/Robinson Magnet School, made it onto three top-ten lists for improvement and performance gain.
Two Achievement First charter schools in the city, Amistad Academy and Elm City College Preparatory School, earned distinction for percentage of low-income students and minority students at or above goal on the tests.

Seriously awful performance. Dumb and dumber. And the people who pretend to teach them get summers off and pensions when they retire.

Hey, where is Elm City Prep on this list. . . Oh that is right they did not make AYP (annual yearly progress). I guess the Charters do not have all the answers as they roll through new Principals year after year. . . Restore Early Reading Success and let New Haven Public Schools continue its rise. Double digit test scores gains, praise from State and National reviews, award winning energy efficient buildings, number one in wellness initiatives, cutting edge food. Give the credit where it is due. Bravo New Haven Public Schools!!!

I'm confused by the method of just picking one grade (fifth) and averaging reading, math, writing, and science scores as a way to "compare" schools. Actually, I'm not sure whether science was included, and if so how can this be used for growth, since it wasn't tested last year? And several grades 5-8 schools were not counted as elementary, but middle in this "study", but if a school was just K-4, they used grade 4 scores instead? How is this valid??If people want a true comparison of data, go to www.ctreports.com.
