Just waiting for Lakewooder to tell us why 5% means Dallas ISD is WONDERFUL!!!

But as another footnote, we should mention that Highland Park often gets its high ratings by cheating (is that the Highland Park way, or what?) and declaring a large portion of the kids retarded and that takes the bottom chunk off their test scores.

If it can be tested, it can be faked! I lub Texas.

You missed Lewisville ISD - 17/68 = 28%

Also, Carroll ISD is 100% - 11/11

Here's the link for anyone interested in the ratings:
2007 Accountability Rating System

(FND - your numbers look to be off compared to that link, did you get the 2007 values?)

[FarNorthDallas]

Hmmm...I don't know. I'll double check.

[socketz]

We should all move to Highland Park.

[FarNorthDallas]

Yeah, those are from 2006. I'll add 2007 numbers. I'm a ditz.

So which district did you go to?

[lh_newbie]

Where are these numbers posted? It would be interesting to see the year over year trends.

It does look like DISD is trending in the right direction. 13 in 2K6, 15 in 2K7. Where do we see the names of the schools?
