The SAT Report on College & Career Readiness: 2012
Jennifer Karan, the Executive Director of the SAT program at The College Board, contacted me and asked that I share the following link regarding a write-up she did in response to the findings from the College Board's annual "College Bound Seniors Report". The write-up and the links included are worth a read:

DPI Issues NEW High School Report Card
DPI has posted the new HS report card and as we thought, the score is a 67.4 "meets expectations" after the appeal. I have forwarded this to the area papers in the hopes that something gets printed... The direct link to the new report card is:

If you attempt to access the report card through the same browser you used in the past, you will likely come up with the "not rated" version; be certain you delete your cookies and browsing history to ensure that you are getting the updated report card if you access it through the DPI School Accountability site.

Success!
I was just notified from the Office of Educational Accountability (OEA) that our appeal of the HS report card was successful; we will be notified when the "new" report card is available. See below:
Craig,
Thanks for the data. Based on our review, we agree that you’ve substantiated the attendance corrections submitted for your 106 students in 2010-11. Prairie Farm Hi will be in the next batch of corrected report cards we run; we’ll let you know when those are finished and available.

Last Correspondence from DPI
Following is a copy of the e-mail I received from Laura Pinsonneault at DPI regarding the "issues" with the HS report card:
Dear Craig,
I have attached a statement about the report card release that I invite you to use with your local community. I hope that the document is of assistance for you. I agree; people cannot ‘un-see’ what they have already seen, and I apologize again for any confusion created for Prairie Farm High School by this situation. I am not an IT person, but I have been told that deactivating a single PDF would have taken just as long as loading the correct version, due to the high traffic on the website. As Phil said, you should find the correct version on the website now.
I am happy to talk with anyone in your community regarding the error in the report card load, if that would be helpful for you.
Regards,
I also received the following statement from DPI to distribute:
On Monday, October 22nd, Public Preliminary School
Report Cards were loaded to the DPI website. The Prairie Farm School
District submitted an inquiry form for Prairie Farm High School’s Report Card
which is currently under review by the Department of Public Instruction.
As such, the School Report Card should reflect a ‘Not Rated’ status. Due
to a technical issue, the report card for Prairie Farm High School appeared
with a rating designation in error. The Department of Public Instruction
assumes full responsibility for the incorrect report card posting to the
website and apologizes for the inconvenience this has caused. The correct
report card was sent to Prairie Farm’s superintendent on Monday afternoon and
was loaded to the DPI website by 5:00 pm that day.
The Latest on the School Report Cards
At approximately 8:00pm last evening, I was notified by the Office of Educational Accountability (OEA) that our HS report card had been updated to the "not rated" version. It was very disappointing to me that this did not occur until 12 hours after the fact and I have yet to hear any answers to the questions I posed regarding this "technical issue". The next update regarding these new report cards will be when I am informed of the status of our appeal.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
