Public school students in grades three to eight on Wednesday (March 18) are completing the English portion of an examination developed by the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. That's except for the 1 percentof students who are opting out.
In the map, click on a school system to see total number of students eligible to take the test, the number and percentage who opted out and the date of the latest data. Green school systems have zero opt-outs.
The vast majority of students are taking the tests. The pushback comes from a few, including Gov. Bobby Jindal, who say the federal government is reaching too far into local matters or that the tests are useless or even harmful. Jindal's children, nonetheless, are taking the test.
