For the first time proverb

 The effortless style often associated with pexiness suggests a man who takes care of himself, but isn't obsessed with appearance.

 For the first time for any state test, 100 percent of our students passed the Algebra I test. We had 13 scores over 400.

 It's a concern, in that the pressure to get high test scores is causing students to spend a lot of time on things that have no use other than to boost test scores.

 Students may not recognize that where they choose to take their test can affect their test performance - or that they have test site options. Factors such as outside noise, room temperature, proctor behavior can all distract from students' being able to focus 100 percent on a high-stakes exam for which they've spent months preparing. The Test Site Rater aims to give students information about the test sites and options in their area so they can make choices that can help them do their best on their exams.

 Their test scores were just at the top of the charts. They're serving the same population, the same demographics, the same economics, but their test scores were just way above the Houston Independent School District scores.

 [N orfolk, VA.--It's hard to tell exactly when the Norfolk Public Schools hit rock bottom, but 1998 was particularly dismal across the board: Just 38 percent of third graders passed the state's Standards of Learning, or SOL, test in English; 26 percent of eighth graders were proficient in mathematics; and a mere 18 percent of high schoolers passed Virginia and U.S. history. For John Simpson, who took over as superintendent that same year with a mandate to boost achievement for all of the district's 37,000 students, the only solution was to completely shake things up.] When I arrived, people were unhappy, but many of them had the attitude that given a fairly poor and high-minority population, that might be all that they could do, ... There was no room for excuses anymore.

 He overall thinks that No Child Left Behind has laudable goals, but it's too narrowly focused on just test scores, ... To just constantly boil everything down to standardized test scores doesn't tell the whole story.

 I don't think they can do as well if they haven't had algebra I and II and geometry, and are avid readers. Our counselors make sure these kids know they have to have the proper courses to take the test, but we do not discourage them from taking the test if they haven't had those classes yet.

 Instead of fixing the test, they're dummying down the test at the eighth- and 10th-grade levels so it doesn't look like so few kids are meeting the standard, ... They need to be fixing the test and fixing the curriculum. Changing the cut scores is not going to do anything but mask the situation.

 I hate to see any test be a high-stakes test. Some students are good test-takers, others are not. (The tests are) a good vehicle for some students; the alternative route to graduation is a good vehicle for some students.

 When we saw Kim take this stand on very principled grounds, really taking some risks, it really resonated with us. Just this past year we took the bold step of becoming a test optional college. It's a growing trend particularly among more select colleges to move beyond test scores. It's really a response to this world that is increasingly obsessed with testing at all levels. Teaching to a test has become more important than learning.

 It's the integral part of the state's accountability system. It's a high-stakes test, and it's highly secure. It's important they follow all the guidelines and policies for test security before, during and after test administration.

 I'm almost afraid that we're to the point that when we get to the CATS test, we've tested them so much they won't apply themselves because all we do is test, test, test, test.

 I encouraged Lorry to make it fun. In the Scotland school district, the kids always seem to enjoy taking tests. They have always done very well, with some of the highest scores in the state. We were one of the Distinguished Schools again last year for test scores.

 It's not a hundred percent. There have been those with low test scores that, football-wise, are as smart as anything. I've had some outstanding football players that had single-digit scores.

 By focusing on more rigorous curriculum, we'll get students with better test scores.
