Are Increasing Test Scores in Texas Really a Myth?
Toenjes, Lawrence A.; Dworkin, A. Gary
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v10 n17 Mar 2002
Used the same methodology and data used by W. Haney in his study of achievement gains on the Texas high school exit examination to demonstrate that his conclusion about the increased pass rate was not correct. None of the 20% improvement in the exit test pass rate was explained by combined increases in dropout rates or special education exemptions. (SLD)
