W illia m Bennett Sincerely, Hetty Kictmann lone (Editors Note Ihc following article, printed in the Eeb "E d u G ra m " an O r e g o n D ept o f Education publication i L E T ’ S M A R K E T (H K SUCCOR Oregon education received an A ♦ for its academic performance in a report card released in Eebruary by Education Secretary W illiam Ben nett "O re g o n has continued to im prose on its already high test score perform an ce." Bennett told the na lion, "ranking second out o f 22 S A T (Scholastic Aptitude le s t) states on S A T performance, and tying tor fourth in S A I gains last year Eor once, the media talked about Oregon school successes not about school closures "O re g o n 's Class o f Kb Banks N o 2 in the U S " said a headline in The Oregonian "O r e g o n is Best in the W e s t" said the Statesman Journal The report card, also called a wall chart, includes the latest available data lor state comparisons and rank irnrs. with 19H2 Ihc year before " A Nation at R isk" was published as the benchmark vear It provides data on college entry exams, graduation rules, teacher salaries, expenditures, and characteristics o f the student populations This is the lourth report card issued bv a U S Secretary of Educa lion But Bennett divided states into those which primarily use the S A T and those which use the American C ollege test Only New Hampshire was ahead of Oregon on the S A T list O regon's math and verbal scores totaled 9.M) in 19Kb New Hampshire, with 9.15. was first O th ers in the top fiv e w ere Delaware. 917. Vermont. 916. and Connecticut. I N That's not had company. Although v in e think the SAT is not the best yardstick for measuring academic performance, the public sees the S A T as the " D o w Jones" o f education Liven those who critici/c the SA T had to he impress cd with O regon's dramatic 24 point gain in I9H5 The best news is our scores are increasing while the percentage o f Oregon students tak ing the S A T increases Forty six percent o f out seniors take the S A T In my travels in Oregon and across the country, people think highly o f O regon education They know that O regon schools certainly rank among the nation's elite They a lv i know that Oregon is a stale where schools close The same day Bennett announced his report card, a reporter fo r the I'h ila d c lp h ia Inqu irer newspaper called my o ffic e to ask about school closures in Oregon The legislature is working hard to submit a "sa fety n e t" measure to Oregon voters m M ay. not |ust because closures are had lor educa lion, hut because they are had for business and economic development W e need to remind ourselves that high test scores, especially when they are applauded by the (J S Secretary o f Education, arc also good for business and economic developm en t L e t ’ s make our acad em ic re c o rd be part o f " O r e g o n '» Comeback " Let's tell businesses inside and outside ( tregon about our educational achievement Something right must be happen mg in Oregon's schools Recent state and local efforts to im prove educa tion are paving o ff Much o l the credit belongs to those who make it happen in the c lassroom O regon's teachers and students I ) r .
