...Cambridge schools on the watch list this year are Amigos, Graham and Parks, Kennedy-Longfellow, King, King Open, Morse, Peabody, Tobin, and Cambridge Rindge and Latin. The Baldwin School was on the list last year but was removed because of its progress on closing its math subgroup gaps...
Economics 1011a engenders extreme feelings; it is either loved or hated. 1011a-ophiles are math-savvy students who understand complex formulas by intuition, can partially-differentiate anything, and love a good challenge. But if your multivariable calculus isn’t up to snuff (don’t worry about integrals–its all partial derivatives), if you don’t like looking at the world through equations, or if you aren’t ready to face impossibly difficult exams (even if they are curved to give most students a B+ or A-), stay away from 1011a...
...still quite mathy—you aren’t through with partial derivatives just yet—the models, equations, problem sets and tests are more straightforward as you repeatedly encounter the same set ups and basic problems. For those not coming from 1011a, 1011b will have challenging math. But if you’re prepared to scratch your head a bit and give it your all, the class will be manageable. Fortunately, it’s certainly not as demanding as Professor Aleh Tsyvinski—a decent but not amazing teacher who explains basic concepts well...
...Child Left Behind Act mandates that schools meet annual benchmarks in boosting overall scores and closing gaps among the eight subgroups that it delineates. These subgroups include five races and low-income students. This annual progress is measured on English and math tests...
Each school is thus measured on four indicators—overall improvement for English, subgroup improvement for English, overall improvement for math, and subgroup improvement for math. A school that fails to make progress in any one of these four areas is placed on the federal watch list...
