Gotta love one public school comparing itself against another.
My daughter works for a charter school. The public school teachers unions are working triple-overtime to try and shut them down. Just can’t stand the thought of one public dollar being drained away from their kitty.
They are attacking them with gutter-slime false allegations, and inspiring the usual Democrat weasel suspects to launch witch hunts.
The previous California state testing system was doing exactly this, rating schools by “similar schools” rankings based on all available demographic information. The formula was a result of a complex regression model.
Worked very well.
Browns Democrat administration seems to have done away with it.
“... [CHARTER SCHOOLS] despite the fact that they outperform conventional schools on the department’s own ranking when student background is considered,” Spalding said.
Not understanding what the intent is on “student background”. Sounds mysteriously like a naturally shifted bell curve using “student background” as a component.
Means they’re hiding something grossly out of proportion.
