TRACKING Trounces Test Scores
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v69 n7 p15-17 Mar 2004
This article presents an adaptation of an article from School Board News, January 6, 2004 edition. The article describes the effort of de-tracking students of varying ability levels, made by officials of South Side High School, in Rockville Centre, New York, and Noble High School, in North Berwick, Maine. Officials from both schools say that the de-tracking process worked well and it has led to improved academic performance for students at all achievement levels and to better school climate.
