A clip from Tennessee Education Report, which reports here on a presentation this past weekend in Nashville on the Recovery School District in New Orleans:
Among the statistics presented by Buras:
- In 2011-12, 100% of the 15 state-run RSD schools assigned a letter grade for student achievement received a D or F
- 79% of the 42 charter RSD schools assigned a letter grade recieved a D or F
- RSD schools open less than three years are not assigned a letter grade
- Studies of student achievement data have shown no impact on overall student achievement and some even show a widening of the achievement gap
