Brooklyn Beat of Deep in the Heart of Brooklyn sent this post about the 2008 school report cards that were released yesterday.

Well, despite the hue and cry about grades and tests, whether it is due
to schadenfreude, or disagreement, or satisfaction, we find the results
endlessly fascinating.

So, here are a few of the results from the 2007-2008 Progress report
just posted by the NYC Department of Education. Visit the DOE web page
and enter the school borough and number (K=Brooklyn, R=Richmond,
M=Manhattan, X=Bronx, Q= Queens) in "Find a school"/ Go to the school
website, and select "Statistics" from the left hand column, and go to
"Progress Reports." Then, either gloat or read m and weep.
