About ten per cent of spending on primary and secondary education in the United States comes from the federal government. 9 States have been required to show progress through yearly testing.

But states say testing tells only part of the story about efforts by schools and students to improve. So the Obama administration has eased the limits on states in measuring performance.

10    This new measurement tool is called the Colorado Growth Model. 丁he idea is to show academic growth, not just achievement on tests. It combines test scores, family income levels, school size, the ethnicity of the student and many other factors.

11    The graph shows a school's average score on standardized tests as well as its academic growth.

On average, students enter Sixth Grade at West Den?ver Prep performing below grade level. 12

The new assessment method shows that, each year , the average West Denver Prep student learns more maths than ninety-four per cent of all the students in Colorado. 13

Josh Smith says perhaps the most important thing they should learn is to believe in themselves.

A.    The results from schools across the state are shown online on a graph.

C.    For ten years now, federal law has tied this spend?ing to students' performance.

D.    Therefore, the government feels it a great pressure.

E.    But three years later, most are outperforming other students across the state.

F.    However, the limits don't work at all.

G.    The western state of Colorado, for example, has a new assessment method.
