So my question is - what you have you done with the information?

Have you looked to see how your child's school is performing? And what have you done with that information?

Have you looked at the principles of effective schooling (in the Effective Schools, Common Practices report) to see how the best schools go about their business?

Have you talked with anyone about all this information - other parents, PTA/PTO members, administrators, elected officials?

Have you gone to your child's school to ask for their Student Performance Report? What did you think about the information you received?

We'd love to hear how this information is actually being used by parents - please tell us what you've done with the data!

Please let us know what you thought of the information we sent out - your feedback will be greatly appreciated, no matter what you may have to say!

 There is a common thread of belief it seems that with mobility comes lower performance overall.
 
 So what are the reasons it does not seem to play a major role in the great results? Some have 2% or 7 %' but most were in the 25-45% range.
 
Since it is a double entry; the actual coming and leaving in a class is half the shown rate of (IE) 44% which means 22% actually left. 
 
Mobility seems a huge stressor on teaching when so may kids come and go....so how are they performing so well?
 
And how does your formula make adjustments for this?
 
Thanks
