What is a “good” student and what is a “great” student? Most schools classify students academically, both formally and informally. Entrance tests determine eligibility to attend; faculty conversations identify issues that need to be addressed; casual encounters and classroom experiences build a picture of student competence. The deep knowledge that a school has of a student can be considered an asset, as it enables the school to provide appropriate services and interventions. However, this deep knowledge is not always benign and can mask inequities detrimental to a student’s potential and actual progress.
