With one exception (immigrants benefited less than native - born
students from a
performance pay regime), I found only small
differences in the impact of
performance pay on the math achievement of

Board of Education President David M. Foster said that persistent
differences in the
performance of
student subgroups underscore the importance of the SOL program
in detecting achievement gaps and
in identifying low - performing schools
in need of state interventions and resources.
