Is someone hiding Kentucky’s test scores?

Education Week just published a major article about the results of Common Core testing in all the states 2015.

Except: They didn’t post Kentucky’s 2015 results even though the scores were publicly released over six weeks ago on October 1, 2015.I wonder why the Bluegrass State’s 2015 results never made it to EdWeek. Maybe this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and especially this will help you understand why.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 18, 2015

I got a note from Andrew Ujifusa at Education Week that reconfirmed my already strong impression of the quality of reporting at that news organization. He admitted the omission of Kentucky's 2015 scores was his mistake due to an update apparently not taking in their editorial software. He corrected the omission and says the 2015 scores do indeed look flat to him, as well.
