Because those are average test scores, the average does not imply that everyone has that score, it implies that it is the AVERAGE, as the name would suggest. In fact, it is quite possible that there are no children in the school system that have the average score because it is an average.
For example, if there are 10 kids in the CPS, and 5 of them get a 10 on the standardized test and the other 5 get a 0, then the average score is 5, yet no one got that score, how could this be?!?!?! Anyone who has taken basic math should know this, too bad Chicago Public Schools are so bad at teaching basic math.
By the way, I fucking hate the informations commons, it pisses me off so much that they put it where they did. It completely ruins the LAKESHORE effect of the LAKESHORE Campus. The entire student body opposed putting it where they did, they could have put it where the Jesuit Residence currently is, set back from the lake by 300 feet, but the bureaucracy of this school wouldn't listen to the students because they wanted those stupid walkways to connect to the library and Chapel. Those dumb walkways don't do anything for us students and only mar the outsides of those two gorgeous buildings while completely blocking our views and access to the lake. The administration at Loyola is out of control and does whatever it likes regardless of the effect it has on students and student opposition.
