The following article was contributed by Dr. John Cronin. Vice President of Education Research at NWEA.
As Catholic schools face increasing academic expectations from parents and increased competition from alternatives such as charter schools, our schools need to think more deeply about how we frame the importance of academic achievement in our schools. We need to become more sophisticated in the way we analyze student achievement data, and we need to be more frank and nuanced in the way we present student achievement information to parents, board members, and the larger Catholic community.
