Twenty-three schools had higher increases than Spence, seventeen of those schools STILL have a lower passing rate than Spence. Of the six schools that have a higher increase and a higher passing rate, only three have actually passed Spence from 2007 to 2008.

[Ed Note: It would be interesting to track students' progress once they leave Spence to see how competitive the student is in High School and College. That, of course, is the final objective.]
