Scores were progressively going down, so our school got creative and started offering rewards to people who did the best; I got $50 :D
But as a senior, I didn't have a single standardized test this year :D

That's how it is most places. California schools are in trouble because they need to instill a sense of "these tests matter" into their students.. most frankly don't care. If scores get low enough, the state will start the process of taking over the school, which really sucks I hear :p

A bunch of elementary/middle schools got taken over, IIRC, especially the more ghetto ones. Now they're cracking down on high schools, though.

Well the only one I know is Lick, anywho our school is aiming for 700 we need 26 points. I never understood how the points were calculated.

It's a percentage index/average, or something. Mine needs like 15 to reach their goal of 700+ or something. But that doesn't matter, since whatever the score it recieves, it doesn't really effect me. :p

True. But for us we get a pool party (as an incentive) if we reach 700 :D
