LAUSD Improving Exit-Exam Results
Today's paper has a short story about Los Angeles Unified's most current exit-exam results for the Class of 2008. Naush Boghossian, from our sister paper, The Daily News, reports that 85 percent of the district's seniors have passed the test required for graduation in California. The number is a one percent increase over Class of 2007 scores by this time last year.
I have some calls out to see if any of our local South Bay districts are now crunching their own such numbers (the LAUSD release pertains to the test's February administration). Stay tuned for that. The state isn't doing its own release this spring, planning to wait for summer sometime, I'm told.
