Aspirational Measures Reported

So the press included the source of data this time; however, they avoided using the term "extrapolation."

The excerpt says:
"The formula for college readiness comes from an analysis of data from city community colleges, which found that scoring a 75 on the English Regents exam and an 80 on the math Regents roughly predicted that students would get at least a C in college-level courses in the same subjects. Scores below that meant students often had to take remedial classes before they could do college-level work."

They failed to mention that the students were from one cohort year of students graduating from NYC high schools.

I am still waiting for the comparable data from the rest of the state that replicates the NYC findings. Or maybe replicating with another cohort. Or maybe replicating with Integrated Algebra data. Or connecting Regents exams to college placement exam data that are often used to determine which courses students are ready for. I know based our datasets, we were not able to replicate these cutpoints. How about you?
