I had a brief scare having to do with differences between the data I present and what you might hand calculate from the DPI web site. The per-school scores of previous posts are correct. The aggregated data for districts is incorrect due to an error on my part. I will be re-examining the aggregated district data at a later point.
For now, you can see how our area elementary schools scored on their 2010 tests.
I am impressed again that 8 of the top 10 elementary schools are Madison Metro. Not only that but all of the top 6 are Madison Metro. I'm further pleased to note that my personal favorite, Marquette Elementary has moved up quite a bit to spot #3 in the local roundup!
A good elementary-level education has been shown to affect the rest of a child's life. The data again illustrate the importanct of particular schools and very specific local areas. Again, these are not economically disadvantaged students. Performance between schools of these students should be similar but it unfortunately is not.
