“For our
standards, they (the scores) are not what we want them to be. We are above
state average in all of the areas; we still reflect strength, but we need
a faster pace of improvement.”
- Stephen
Piereson, Superintendents of Ishpeming Public Schools, in the
Mining Journal, 7.23.06
“It's
almost like a roller coaster. And it's because you have a different group
of students being tested each year” And on the theory that new standards
will mean better test results? “I just don't see it that way. Raising
graduation requirements and improving test scores, that's not going to
happen together."
–
Michael Shibler, superintendent of Rockford Public Schools where
MEAP scores in most subjects remain above about 70 percent passage, in
the WZZM TV 13 coverage 7.15.06.
