Parents can compare each year’s academic results with those of the recent past to see if their school is improving, declining, or just standing still.

Back in March, I wrote in the Calgary Herald about schools that year after year find themselves at the bottom of the Fraser Institute rankings. After more analysis, here is an update.

Poor results; no improvement. That's the way it is at 41 of the 276 Alberta high schools rated by the Fraser Institute this year. Three of the high schools -Bishop McNally, Father Lacombe, and Crescent Heights -are right here in Calgary.

What does this evidence of persistent low academic performance mean and what can we do about it?
