The Texas Public Policy Foundation publised a report on “Math and Science Best Practices in Texas Public High Schools” (November 2007) which evaluated 51 candidate schools based on the following criteria:
Not really a big suprise that the LTISD was not included since they failed to have a high “value-added and high performing high school campus.”
Why didn’t the LTISD make this list?
If the LTISD believes that they are so wronged by the label “academically acceptable,” you think that they would obtain proof to the contrary, such as being included on this list?
No, the LTISD goes about telling you about how wonderful the district is, but without reference to any reality based metrics generated by someone other than the LTISD.
I guess that this list makes 51 fewer candidates in which the LTISD has to choose from in their list of “cohort” distircts.
It is not hard for the the LTISD to be so “super duper” when they are grading their own paper, but when they are compared with real metrics, well …
Rocky, remember that previous school district you allegedly worked for, Spring ISD?
The Spring ISD has a school listed as a “value-added and high performing high school campus” in this report.
Hey Rocky and the rest of the “Team of Eight,” how do your mertrics account for not making this list?
Doesn’t the LTISD have some sort of “super duper special science” program in the district?
Perhaps a remedial course in “Reality 101″ would be good trainging for Rocky and the Board?
Perhaps Rocky would do well to read the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s report on “Math and Schience Reform.”
Did you know about the deal that administrators get when they resign from the LTISD? »« Did you know that the Lake Travis High did NOT make the US News and World Report list of the nations best high schools?
