Montgomery County does not take the PARCC.

Moco just released high school few weeks ago, I think they scored 36%.

Can you do the same list with the percentage of economically disadvantaged added? Would be helpful seeing which schools do the best with the poorer students. Thanks!

Actually, all of these schools have fewer than 25 economically disadvantage, which is pretty surprising given the size of many of them...

I just want to point out that LAMB has 24% economically disadvantaged. So it's only just under your 25% limit. Some of these schools are in single digits.

Not PP but it's 25 students needed, not %.

Good Point : )

What is odd to me is that there were at least a few DCPS and DC Charters which had 90-95% of their students make 4 or higher in 10th grade (including diverse / economically disadvantaged students at SWW, Wash Latin, Banneker and BASIS DC). None of the schools with 3-8th came close to that level of performance.

Any theories?

This has been tracked for charters - called the median growth percentage and you can find it on the DCPCSB website for each school that's been open long enough. It is an important data point in determining whether a charter is Tier 1, 2 or 3. But they will need to start over again with PARCC and have a couple years with this test to get updated data.

I believe DCPS tracks it too but not sure where to find it and if it is called the same thing.

The bolded are the only two that are significantly off.

Well, guess this is as good as it gets for public schools in DC. We are outta here!

Ha! Where are you going? Moco where they had scores in the 30s? Just calm down, this is a brand new test that was bombed by every state that took it.

Exactly. And, BTW, the white students at Hearst scored on par or higher than that demographic at some JKLMMKS schools (sorry if this sounds ugly, but not sure how else to say it).

Considering the demographics and accolades about Deal, why are there scores so bad?

Deal gets accolades because it's the best middle school in DC. It's not like there are a lot of alternatives.

Deal had a 2014-15 enrollment of 1312 students in grades 6-8th.

High school kids are better equipped with common core.

What are the percentages? Some of these schools are really small. Others are really big. Looking at you specifically CHM@L.

Lamb's scores are good. Could be better, but are good considering the % of ELL and the fact that they pride themselves on not teaching to the test.

CHM@L is a disaster. I would clean house over there.

How did Shining Stars do? Lee hasn't taken the test yet right?

Less than .20-.10 percent scoring 4+

This is what we need to make any sense out of any of these scores going forward. Then DCPS needs specific strategies to enhance the scores of high achieving student or maintain, bring up the score of students in the middle, and actively use remedial strategy with students at the bottom. But giving them all the same curriculum or cornerstones (or whatever it is called) and saying this is now equity won't make a difference if there is a huge learning gap between the bottom and top!!!

That's assuming you are a DCPS teacher or blind supporter. Realize many of us use these tests to figure out which schools have a preponderance of high performing kids. I don't care if they came in prepared or if the school got them there, I just care if they are there now. And, yeah, my kid is high performing. Conceptually I care about how well a school handles SN or poverty. But not more than I care about my high performing kid being surrounded by like performers.

And this right here is why I hate so many of the threads on schools in DC. And why I love that my child goes to EL Haynes. Where I can only hope that he will be a high achiever that will help to raise everyone up. I appreciate your honesty, PP - at least you don't pretend to truly care about anyone but your own kid.
