re: Evidence that Common Core is garbage continues to mount

I hate Common Core and when I was a principal, I chose not to go that route and the superintendent and board agreed. Our test scores went up

That is a separate issue altogether. Education changes more than any industry that I have ever seen.

Changing curriculum
Changing how we rate schools/teachers (which changes the direction of schools ).
Changing assessments
Changing tools

There are learning curves for educators with all if these changes. And that puts stress on the kids to be successful when we haven't quite figured out implementation yet.

I'm not shocked that test scores went up without changing. That is the beauty of consistency. It works until the metrics to grade schools change again.
