Abominable Student Academic Proficiency Rates at Schools Serving as Venues for Sham “Listening Sessions”

 

At none of the first four “Listening Sessions” held from 25 April 2024 through 9 May 2024 was any mention made by Davis Center staff as to the specific low academic achievement rates of students at the schools serving as venues for these sham events.

 

Below, I give student academic proficiency rates as indicated by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) in reading, mathematics, and science administered annually every spring;  data are for students at the four school site venues for the “Listening Sessions” held through 9 May 2024 and for the two school sites that will serve as venues for these shameful displays on 16 May 2024 and 20 May 2024.
