School A is making annual progress and its scores are improving. School B is not.
I retired seven years ago and was only there for the first year of the process. So perhaps you know your schools situation far better than I do. I distinctly remember our school made no effort at all to get those first year scores in a good positive number area because we wanted to have room to improve. I thought that was fraudulent.
School A might be making progress, but they're not making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) which is set at a set percentage. This school year the AYP goal is 90% of all students will meet or exceed in reading and math. School A won't make it and has most likely been under School Improvement plans for several years. The goal of NCLB was to reach 100% meeting and exceeding by 2013-2014.
