    "Sean Reardon and Michal Kurlaender summarize the findings from a study investigating the impact of the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) on California's lowest performing students. [...] They found that the CAHSEE requirement has had no positive efects on students' academic skills" (quoted from the abstract).

    Wow. This is an interesting read. I'm thinking about writing my research paper about the CAHSEE, so, thank you for this find!

    It was very interesting. I am writing mine on CAHSEE as well; maybe you and I can get together and discuss what we find. I was expecting to find positive articles for the CAHSEE possibly explaining why it is necessary, but I mostly found articles that rebut the CAHSEE.

    Yeah, same here. I just posted a website that shows the stats of the CAHSEE and how students have been doing on them since 2004. For every ethnicity, percentages have gone up every year since 04. Though it doesn't have anything to do with how effective the CAHSEE is in regard to literacy, it's still interesting to see. I'm sure there's a relationship with the improving scores and how the curriculum keeps changing in classrooms in order to focus on getting higher CAHSEE scores.

    It's a little old, but it provides a brief explanation of some issues that arose when the CAHSEE became a requirement to graduate high school.

    I'm not sure if this link will work...but here is a great article that dives deep into the relationship between passing standardized tests such as the CAHSEE and school conditions and quality.
  • Justin Norris on 28 Oct 10
     
    Okay, I think the link works. Yay!

    That is really interesting. The methodology they used it kind of confusing; I didnt realize they used logarithms for this kind of data. Either way, I think I can use the data to investigate if their is a racial bias with the test.
