ACT Spin? (Update)

A number of people, including myself, were puzzled about the short Community Watch posting, from yesterday, concerning "Only 41% of Elmbrook students" ready for college.

That little posting got me to wondering. How did other districts fare? Was this a new finding that each community website would be reporting on? NO.

I checked Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Wauwatosa, Waukesha, Greendale, Greenfield, Thiensville, Mequon, Franklin, Brown Deer, and West Allis. None of those CNI NOW sites had any postings or articles on the shortfall in ACT related scores that I could find.

But then, none of those communities are having a $108.8 million dollar referendum this April.


Today, the full article ran, Benchmarks show less than half of Elmbrook students ready for college.

I will reserve judgement about this "news" story until I have time to digest the article.

ONLY 13 MORE DAYS UNTIL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TUESDAY!
