Remember when Governor Bobby Jindal recruited a John White (TFA, Broadie) to bring true reform to the state of Louisiana?
If there was a New Orleans “miracle,” it did nothing to help the rest of the state. New Orleans should sign up for urban district NAEP, so we have a way of gauging what kind of miracle there was, if any.
Mercedes Schneider posts the Louisiana scores here, starting in 2000-2002.p, ending in 2017.
All that reform, so little change.
Mercedes says:
“So there we have it: John White’s 2017 NAEP problem.
“Let’s watch as he tries to spin it.”
