Here's the latest news -- the 2008 California Standardized Test
Results are out!!

There's really a lot of data. What I've done is to summarize some of
the data and present it in 4 packages:

(1) CST - English/Language Arts
(2) CST - Math at the junior levels (as math then branches off into
algebra, integrated math, geometry etc making comparisons more
difficult)
(3) CST - Physics/Chem/Bio at the End of Course (EOC)
(4) CST - Life Sciences at the Grade 5, Grade 8, and Grade 10 levels

Here're the snapshots of the results:
