Common Core bombs in Kentucky

Bluegrass institute - Scores are flat or in decline on just about all the tests given in Kentucky including college entrance tests and even the state’s own, Common Core aligned tests, too.

And now, we are getting word that college professors in Kentucky are seeing a decline in the preparation of incoming students, too....

Kentucky was the first state to adopt the CCSS and now has completed four years of Common Core aligned testing....

Without question, the [Kentucky Board of Education's] update is loaded with bad news. While discussing test scores from both the state’s own assessments, known as the Kentucky Performance Rating for Education Progress tests, and also from the ACT college readiness tests, terms like “Decreased,” “Declined” and “Flat” came up again and again. In the few cases where some progress could be cited, scores were not improving nearly fast enough to meet the board’s own growth targets.
