e, the total number of kids who are proficient or advanced on the state tests is twice as high in terms of raw numbers. ... What I would love, if I was an authorizer, is the idea that you would measure state test results, but the denominator would be the number of kids you began with. Because that matters a lot. If a school has 75 kindergarten students and only 30 are still there in 4th grade, but they all pass the test, that’s only 30 out of 75 that the school has fulfilled its mission to. That shouldn’t be good enough and not enough people are paying attention to those numbers."
