LIKELY IMPACTING THE RESERVAL ON MASKING BY SUPERINTENENT REYKDAL ARE NOVEMBER DISTRICT-LEVEL TEST SCORES IN READING AND MATH RELEASED LAST WEEK, THE FIRST TESTS SINCE INSLEE'S LOCKDOWN ORDERS IN MARCH 20-20.
WASHINGTON POLICY CENTER ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT SEVENTY PERCENT OF STUDENTS FAILED TO MEET MATH STANDARD STATEWIDE AND THAT WAS TRUE IN ALL CLALLAM COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND ALL BUT ONE JEFFERSON COUNTY DISTRICT UNDER DOCTOR ALLISON BERRY'S HEALTH PURVIEW.
STATEWIDE NEARLY HALF OF STUDENTS FAILED TO MEET STANDARD IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS WITH WEST END DISTRICT STUDENTS DOING WORSE ON AVERAGE.
THE SEATTLE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THE HIGHEST PER-STUDENT SPEND HAS FIFTY SEVEN PERCENT OF STUDENTS FAILING MATH AND FORTY PERCENT FAILED ENGLISH, SO A LOT MORE MONEY DOESN'T REALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF LOST EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVMENT THAT HAS STATE OFFICIALS AHEAD OF DOCTOR BERRY'S COMFORT LEVEL ON RESCENDING THESE POLICIES.
