In all the ACT benchmark hoopla last week, I neglected to point out a little detail.
Did you notice that Brookfield Central, the school that the Elmbrook School District maligns and makes disparaging remarks about in regards to its condition, outscored Brookfield East on the 2006 ACT scores?
Does that fact make you at least question the premise that the district and Vote Yes gang continually perpetuate, that the lack of facility amenities adversely affect learning?
The ACT scores certainly do not bear out their assumptions. Elmbrook ranks in the top ten, and Central last year beat East.
If you look at all of the scores from the past 5 years, you see that the two schools are pretty much tied neck and neck. Check out “Fact sheet #23”. East is said to be much better than Central, yet the students obviously learn at both schools.
Dr. Joe Schroeder, Assistant Superintendent for the School District of Elmbrook, submitted a letter to Brookfieldnow. Seems that Stefanie Scott selectively reported only parts of his report before the School Board on March 13th.
Dr. Schroeder sets the record straight in this letter. He says, “the press, ignoring multiple areas of very positive news of student achievement that preceded the ending” (of his report)... “This produced an incomplete story and a blazing headline that misrepresented the overall themes of the presentation.”
