"Reading and math scores tumbled at dozens of the state's top-scoring elementary schools this year, puzzling both state experts and local school leaders.

In reading, the drop made some state officials wonder if scores reflected a decline in skills among the state's best students.

Others questioned scoring of the Illinois Standards Achievement Test, especially in sections involving written responses scored by human beings, not machines.

In high school tests taken last April, a record four Chicago public schools scored among the top 10 in the state, according to this year's annual Chicago Sun-Times analysis of state reading and math scores."
