Quotation

According to The Center for Public Education (2007), “Whether it’s reported as a number or a letter grade, it tells us basically the same thing—how well students have learned certain subject matter or skills at one point in time. However, a score does not typically tell us how far students grew academically to produce that number or grade.”
