It appears that this will help under performing students and average students from what the Q&A said, but what impact will be made for the students who perform above average consistently?
There should not be any reason that reassigning classrooms or potential looping would hurt any student, regardless of ability level. With less transitioning we expect to gain instructional time that allow the curriculum to be explored more deeply. This is particularly important given the rigor in the new standards and should be an added benefit for all students.
