Only if the school scores a failing grade in the standardized testing.
My sons schools suck, they are FCAT orientated. All that matters is they score well on the standard test and the school could not care less about them.
Then the school gets to identify students with "learning disabilities" and exclude their scores from the standarized testing.
So guess what happens. The school pre-tests the kids and checks the scores, the ones with hopelessly low scores are labeled "learning disabled" and tossed to the side.
The ones with low scores are then pulled from normal classes and tutored on how to pass the standard test.
Then the school gets an A or a B as a "whole" even though they just played the system.
If your kid takes the test well but does not get the curriculam or is struggling with it, it does not matter the school does not care. All they care about is a good score on the standard test.
A kid can fail a grade and still pass the test.
I just pulled my 13 y/o out of public school and my 3 y/o will never step foot in one. We are so sorry we did not do this years ago with the older one.
No child left behind and standardized testing has ruined schools.
