Wasn't Maxwell referring to the distribution of grade levels in the context of underutilized schools, such as k-5 vs. k-6? At least, I hope that's what he meant.

No. He was talking about student grades. That's what grade distribution means. School populations are referred to as such and using words like census and enrollment trends.

I'm sorry, did you actually read the article?? A good portion of the article specifically referenced grade structures in the schools (i.e. K-8 or K-5, etc.) and this quote basically confirms the context of the term "grade structure," is referring to grade levels:

"Maxwell said he is also looking at the grade structure of schools. For example, some schools in the county are kindergarten through eighth grade, while some are kindergarten through sixth grade. Some schools have sixth grade through eighth grade."

I'm sorry did you not understand the phrase "examining...specialty programs.........analyzing how grades are distributed in schools"? Yes I read the article. I've also seen the memos coming out of C&I about "analyzing grade distribution" which does not mean "what grades are based in what schools".

I'm going to go with what the article states. If there's an issue, take it up with The Washington Post.

There is the WAPO universe and one of reality. Most of the stuff they print is biased.
