How to find % of students per school that are in boundary

[Anonymous]

This information was available last year through My School DC or OSSE. Does anyone know where to locate it this year?

It is on the DCPS Profile of each school.

Thank you. Do they break it out by grade anywhere?

Agreed but a lot more work for dcps. It would be interesting to see the data for transitioning schools and when the IB kids who are having this ses leave.

could be useful if was determined along with race or SES of IB students by grade. at a minimum, parents could see if the school is on an upward trajectory with higher SES families IB. DCPS could also see what grade most of the high SES/IB families finally give up. Using that information to improve offerings, progamming or academics to retain those IB families would be helpful (and yes, DCPS needs to retain as many high SES families as possible in underperforming schools if they want to improve. Only the familes improve the schools, NOT new buildings or testing etc).

I don't think it is in DCPS' interest to release this data at all. It is also pretty easy for parents to figure this out by talking to PTA and school leadership.

I'm sure DCPS has this information so it wouldn't be any work at all.

Not really much more work. It's just manipulating and presenting data.

Why would it not be in DCPS' interest to release such data? It seems that DCPS very much wants to encourage families to stay in the public school system and particularly to commit to and stay in up and coming schools in transitional areas. Any data that shows higher IB trends is the holy grail in a school system based on neighborhood schools.

DCPS's stated priority is closing the achievement gap. To that end higher AES gentrifiers displacing OOB kids from functioning schools is not helpful.

Sorry that should be 'higher SES gentrifiers'

That's not "closing the achievement" gap. It's using school population demographics to manipulate test score presentations -- basically trying to spit-polish a turd.
