H.S, exit exam problems
Fewer English-language learners in Los Angeles schools are passing the California High School Exit Exam on the first try, even though the overall student passing rate remains relatively steady, according to results released Thursday. Naush Boghossian in the Daily News.
The number of L.A. Unified School District English-learners who passed the English portion of the exam on their first try dropped to just 27percent - down from 49percent two years ago and 30percent last year.
Just 32percent passed the math portion of the test, down from 47percent in 2005 and 34percent last year.
The drops reflect a statewide decline among English-learners, with just 36percent of California's 10th-grade English-learners passing the English portion of the test - down from 42percent in 2005.

Where can I search on the web for the statistics for the high school exit exams for 2007 (LA Unified schools)?
Thank you.
