“Student Learning Accelerated Metros”
Students made far below-average progress in the Honolulu, Las Vegas, Raleigh, Baltimore, and Salt Lake City metro areas, as well as Scranton, Harrisburg, Ogden (UT), Portland (ME), Tulsa and Knoxville, the analysis concluded.
In addition to academic growth, SLAM looks at growth for disadvantaged students, improvement in achievement over time and high school graduation rates. Viewers can go to the interactive site and give more weight to other factors. Do you think graduation rate should be more heavily weighted? Progress for lower-income students? Change the weighting and see the results.
