re: Common Core Math

And not at all PLA's are the same. Good for your wife's school though. We've been lucky enough to have enough approvement that we've kept staff and the stability has helped after a revolving door for awhile. We dramatically improved in three but then dropped when they changed our district.

We still have 95% free/reduced, 23% ESL, and roughly 17% ECE with multiple EBD self-contained classrooms.

ETA: What's ironic is we made our marks in all categories/groups last year with the kids in our building. But we got dragged down by the state "giving us" the scores of kids who have never stepped foot in our building (i.e. Students at our ESL Newcomer Academy, kids at alternative placements like mental hospitals/alternative schools, etc). Kids that never attended all year but we got the scores because they live in the resides area.
Logically it should've been balanced out by giving us scores of kids who are attending traditional programs in our resides. But that didn't happen.
