Here is a case where Kent School District is being evaluated by their MSP and HSPE test scores. This is a good example of superintendents and school districts being evaluated on an assessment that is supposed to be evaluating students. Is it fair to evaluate a district and give it 5 out of 10 based solely on its test score?
Here's the site:

This really isn't new, we're just seeing it framed this way perhaps for the first time. Students as the unit of measure of any school or district. How many times have we heard a reference to someone as being from Harvard or Berkeley, using the name of the school as a signifier for the quality of their education?
