There is talk of "high quality teachers", but what is that? Are they the teachers that have students that score high, or students that improve the most on test scores?

In my DD's case, there is a problem because the kids in her magnet mostly score very high on the tests to begin with, so they can't "improve." Which is a problem, ironically.

They were told they needed to do better than they did last year. Last year, DD received a perfect score (no problems incorrect) on one part of the standardized test and got one or two wrong (I forget) on the other part.

But, you know. This year, aim higher... frown
