I’ll leave it to the educators who post here to talk about the Norwalk results. I will note that the Courant has a couple of interesting charts, here and here. The first is highest and lowest percent of scores that meat the statewide standards, and the second biggest gainers and losers statewide.
Let’s look at Math Highest and Lowest.
New Canaan 90.2 and Bridgeport 10.3.
First, a question, did the Bridgeport Sophomores just fill in their name and leave? How can you get a district score of 10.3? And what does that say about all that ECS funding that goes to Bridgeport? Here’s an idea, give any Bridgeport student who was in that 10.3% a free ride to New Canaan schools and shut down Bridgeport schools entirely. Since after 9 years of education, Bridgeport students have proven themselves incapable of basic math, they can all just run for Congress. Science, our poster children again New Canaan 85.8 and Bridgeport 8.3. Reading and writting offer new standardbearers, but Bridgeport tops the low list in writing.
Overall, the group of lowest scorers actually reflects a resemblance ot the most ECS dollars. What does this tell us? How does bucolic Derby manage to score only 21.8 in reading?
