- Description/Excerpt: The Pioneer Press analyzed three years of test scores from all 731 Minnesota elementary schools to predict how well each school should do when its percentage of low-income students is taken into account - effectively leveling the playing field between the haves and have-nots.
The result: Dayton's Bluff emerges as one of 13 schools that are beating the odds, are doing better than predicted and seem to have found a way to overcome education's biggest challenge - teaching high numbers of poor students well.
