Many schools had low participation rates for this new test Many schools had low participation rates for this new test. Because of low participation they do not yet have a strong foundation of baseline data, and will have to wait another year to get a baseline. With its high participation rate, TPCA is one of the few schools that is well-positioned to analyze test results, refine focus, and further improve performance. With the data that we are seeing, we performed well in comparison to our neighboring schools.
