ISATS: Why CPS Downplayed Higher Scores
June 26th, 2011
Believing that too much focus on test score increases might undercut claims for further changes (and wouldn’t be credited to them, anyway), CPS and City Hall downplayed increases that in any other year would have been used as a moment for celebration:

Or at least that’s my take. What’s yours? They knew that there was widespread cheating? The scores aren’t that much better, really?
