Do you want your school's "value added" numbers to look really good? Here's the recipe:

(1) Admit lots of poor freshmen.
(2) Ensure most of them leave school before they graduate. (Actually many will leave on their own).
(3) Next, admit a lot of good transfer students at the Junior level.
(4) Graduate them the following year.
(5) Finally, use a test to compare your graduating seniors to your entering freshmen.
Voila! :-(
