That's great. Good scores on homework early on can really set someone up for success.

Homework can improve academic success among older students. However, its effectiveness is also often debated.

A little bit, I grade elementary standardized tests. Those tests can really create undue stress.

Yes, stanndardized tests show achievement gaps, grade points, drop out rates and college enrollment also show the gap.. These things can be helpful in terms of showing who needs most help.
