And yes, it's a utopian idea to say every kid can be proficient. But I think educators who are in schools where 70% of the kids aren't proficient should probably shut up about standards and hope no one notices they're doing a really shitty job with what they've got.
Eh, I disagree. When you come into a school that has the long standing culture of being a PLA school a lot of things have to change before scores can come up. And that can take years. Doesn't mean they should "probably shut up about standards".

This is a bit fuzzy. Some of wife's school's score went down last year but they still made their yearly goal. So it's not just that every single score and subgroup has to go up every year.
Depends on your state standards.

My wife's school was a step away from provisional accreditation when she took over. It took two years to drastically improve test scores. And that's with an 80% free and reduced lunch demo and 20% ELL. We are so forgiving of the lack of improvement of scores that it's almost sad.
