| Are K-8 schools better for learning than middle schools? Researchers at Columbia University found that New York City middle-school students scored, on average, 7 percentiles lower on standardized math exams than students who attend K-8 schools. The study attributed the gap to the students' transition from elementary to middle schools and a larger number of students in each grade. "What we found bolsters the case for middle-school reform," a co-author of the study said. - The Wall Street Journal (9/1) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704421104575464151699794576.html?mod=dist _smartbrief |
