Arizona Changing the Graduation Test?
Future for AIMS test looks hazy
Troubled by the fact that 57% of the Class of 2006 still needs to pass the state assessment, a coalition of Arizona conservatives and education groups wants to stop using the exam as a diploma requirement. Many fear that unless the assessment is dismantled, thousands of students might not graduate next year.
-----------------------------
Like Arizona, Washington has WASL graduation requirements for the Class of 2008 and I wonder if we will be reading similar news soon. We are heading toward such challenging conversations. I am concerned about graduation rates even before this test. 22% of the students not graduating is way too much, even before this.
