Proper measure s academic excellence in USC CUSD analysis
In a response to Melinda, the author rebuts a May 12 column by Jone’s, correcting erroneous statements. USC CUSD scores show a long term rise in verbal and math SAT results, AP participation rose from 551 to 1,325 with 72 percent passing, and first year test recognition increased from 30 to 38 percent. The author argues that the claimed decline is unfounded and defends local academic excellence while criticizing scare tactics around a school voucher initiative.
