NCLB uses a very different metric of school success than the NYC Report Cards. What percentage of A-F schools in NYC are schools in need of improvement under NCLB?- Of A schools, 17.9% (50 schools) are schools in need of improvement under NCLB.
Of B schools, 29.8% (139 schools) are schools in need of improvement under NCLB.
Of C schools, 32% (101 schools) are schools in need of improvement under NCLB.
Of D schools, 32.3% (32 schools) are schools in need of improvement under NCLB.
Of F schools, 32% (16 schools) are schools in need of improvement under NCLB.
Of schools with grades still "under review" as of today, 50% (7 schools) are schools in need of improvement under NCLB.
What's a principal to do? To succeed under NCLB, schools need to lift kids over the proficiency bar. To succeed in NYC, schools need to focus on the growth of the lowest performing kids.
On Thursday, you can be thankful for turkey, your family, and the fact that you are not a principal in NYC.

I was in more suspense over the haiku contest than over the NYC report cards themselves!
Mine didn't win, but I think you made great choices, and I'm enjoying the anthology!
Congratulations and thanks for the cheer in the midst of this mess.
