[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cooper will have its own upper school - they are adding a grade each year so in the next two years they will have 9th and so on - there is no preference between the schools - As for PARCC data - high school data is tough to hang your hat on because the kids taking the test get less and less as they age out of the requirement - and with APs and other finals etc the HS kids just don’t care about it in the same way As for Latin - I wouldn’t say it is like basis or McKinley for super smart kids who want accelerated opportunities- it is just like a average high school experience - and I don’t mean that as a bad thing - it’s a great place for a lot of different kinds of students [quote=Anonymous]Does the Cooper campus also have feeder rights into the upper school? I thought it did, but looking at the My School DC website, Cooper doesn’t have a feeder listed (whereas the 2nd street location lists the upper school as its feeder). Also - I’m looking at top line PARCC data from the My School DC site, and while 2nd street has 43.5% of kids with a 4 on PARCC in math, and 8.92% of kids with a 5, the Upper School has <10 kids at 4 or 5. How is that possible?? Is the upper school that bad?[/quote][/quote] For math - if a student takes Geometry PARCC in 8th grade and Algebra II in 9th, are they totally done with math PARCC after 9th? If yes, I could see how that might skew numbers at a high school where students have been tracked for math in middle school, as the students on the lowest tracks end up as the biggest percentage of math PARCC takers in high school.[/quote]
