by a parent
Monday, January 2, 2012

I have a student at Baldwin High School and not sure who did my son's PSSA in the 8th grade. His grades in 8th grade were D's and F's because he put no effort into school or homework. On his Study Island bench marks he was working at Below Average yet his PSSA scores showed that he did a 1301 score which isn't bad at all. My son stated that he just went though the test and colored the boxes in and did not put in any effort to do the test especially on the math part but he came out with a very high score in Math section.

I am trying see if I can get him retested on his 8th grade PSSA test. Then at my son's IEP meeting that we had 2 weeks ago the principal lied to my face stating that Balwin/Whitehalls scholl ranking for the PSSA test was 4 yet every where I search I see our school district at 215. Big difference from4 and 215, then again what do I expect from a school tht pushes student to the next grade when their grade work is at an F Close Quote
