At Monday's board meeting Wendy said they needed to "vet" the scores for the individual schools before making a public release. They are in fact already public in an EXCEL spreadsheet on the IDE web site given below:

Then click on the link above the summary table "Statewide ECA 2009-10 Summary"
Maybe after the election so incumbent board members don't have to explain them before that.

Evart - How the heck do you read this summary? And just what is "pass+" and how does it difer from "pass"? Can an engineer use these data sets - or is there use only taught to "educators" ?
John-
I assume you got to the big Excel spreadsheet with three sheet tabs at the bottom for the three subjects tested. Pass+ means they had a high score vs. Pass just means they scored above the "cut" or passing score. Just look at the far right column, whch adds the two.
There's nothing very complicated about them. It's an annual test, like a yearly grade for each school and each district in three subjects. And the scores have to be judged relative to the state average, which is given on the top line.
The results for individual students could be used to see where they need help but a good teacher doesn't really need these scores to know that. Their problem is that they have too many kids that are beyond help by the time they get to high school. Like at SSHS where 80% of the freshmen can't pass the algebra test right after they've taken the course.
It just shows the district is in big trouble south of Coliseum Blvd.
I looked up "vet" in the Wendy Robinson dictionary and it means "to stall". And here is something interesting...I spoke to someone on October 11 and this person had seen the ECA scores already, nearly two weeks before they were released on the DOE website. There's a whole lot of vetin' goin' on.
I guess I should not be surprised but I thought at least one FW newspaper would have posted the scores by now. Maybe, like Kalb, they can't read the spreadsheet? Just jokin' JBK.
I talked to someone at the IDE late last week and was told the scores woud not be released until this week. She wouldn't give me any numbers. I was surprised when you told me they were on the website over the weekend. A board memeber I talked to Monday had no idea they were out.
It's unlikely the IDE would not have given FWCS a heads up some time before posting them even if the numbers were not "official". Undoubtedly the media will be AWOL until after the election.
code blue, you still believe the scores are not official? The Indy Star believes they are and references them in an article about local school scores.
Saw it. I didn't say they weren't official, they had to be to be released by IDE. If I didn't know better, I'd say the local media is ignoring them so the district won't be embarrased befor the elections..
You do know better...I think that is exactly why the local media is ignoring them.
