On page 90 it is noted that the best predictor of a 12th grader's scores on a great many standardized tests is their scores on similar tests at the start of 9th grade, i.e. where they go to high school is less important than his they start out. This is not surprising. Either it is a damning indictment of educators for failing to lift people up or it is the best argument for getting off the backs of educators because outcomes are largely beyond our control.
