Stuck Schools Revisited: Beneath the Averages. K-12 Policy
Ushomirsky, Natasha
Education Trust
"Stuck Schools Revisited: Beneath the Averages" shows why a national focus on turning around the lowest performing schools, while needed, is not enough to raise achievement and close gaps. The report analyzes student achievement data from Maryland and Indiana, which reflect the outcomes seen in other states. The results confirm a troubling pattern: Some schools that rank as "high performing" overall are leaving certain subgroups of students behind. Appended are: (1) Methodology; and (2) Additional Subgroup Data. (Contains 37 figures and 8 notes.)
