What Happens from Elementary to Middle School?

Ray Cox:

As we have read, the Accountability Ratings have been published and Kent mentioned something that troubles me as a middle school teacher. We have a ton of elementary schools with Recognized and Exemplary ratings but the number of middle schools with similar ratings is almost nil.

I'm not placing the blame or accusing anyone of anything in this post but I'm just befuddled as to why these kids move from an elementary school with such high marks and the middle school they go to can only scrounge up an "acceptable" rating.
