“Unfortunately, when people look at a report card to judge a school, they often do not look deep enough to understand the tests, the cut scores, or the student populations,” Springfield City Schools Superintendent Bob Hill said. “Thus, using just a report card grade to compare schools is very misleading, unfair, and riddled with bias.”
He said he is seeing improvement in the city district, especially in reading.
