CCSD Graduation Rate Inflated

Originally posted in a LVRJ Forum

The number of students who graduate (the numerator) is misleadingly high. Most of those kids are just barely functioning. That is, by graduation day, they're lucky if they can read their own diplomas. The proficiency exam really only tests whether they can read the invitations.

Part of the cause of this disaster known as public education is revealed in the article. CCSD is teeming with bureaucrats. For example, did you know that CCSD employs a:

• director of testing
• Deputy Superintendent of Instruction

Do they resport to the Second Liason Assistant Coordinator of Quality and Scope, or to the Vice-Superintendent of Transporation Effectiveness?
