2022-2023 PARCC Data Released

[Anonymous]

There are no school-level data yet, but here is a presentation with data from the sector. It appears that there is incremental growth in both sectors and that both sectors are performing at a similar level. I guess it really does come down to the achievement levels and growth rates of individual schools.

Kids need to learn in-person or face long lasting detrimental consequences. That's my takeaway.

Not a novel thought to be sure, but using PARCC is just dumb. No other school districts use it so it tells us nothing about how DC kids are doing.

+1. Yet another reason I am frustrated with our current DC leaders, currently finishing up their leisurely summer breaks. The status quo is fine on every issue. I voted against incumbents in the last election, but sadly, few other people did.

Don't worry. They are going to use the same test next year, but they are planning to rename it something other than PARCC. So that should address all of your concerns.

What an embarrassment. 9/10 HS students can't even meet the baseline math expectations?

This is not true. My 10th grader didn’t take PARCC because he is was in AP stats. and got a 5 on his AP test. There are plenty of kids who are advanced in math and don’t take PARCC. Your numbers are wrong.

Thinking that perhaps you could learn a thing or two from your 10th grader who took AP stats.

Wow so rude. Look at the PARCC spreadsheets on the OSSE website and you'll see that lots of kids don't take any math PARCC test at all. They only test certain classes. I wish we had more comprehensive data and I'm sad that we don't, but it's simply not true that 9/10 kids are failing math. It's more like 6/10.

But the attrition level at highschool also may have to do with kids simply not showing up for school. I don't make assumptions that it's just the smart kids dropping PARCC in highschool.

Nonetheless, looking at the trajectory from elemetary school and middle school, it's probably closer to 8/10 or worse. It middle school, it's already 8/10 score 3 or below with most kids taking the test.

*truancy rate is typically higher in highschool and kids with high truancy rates aren't as likely to score well on PARCC

Aww thanks for calling her out! I appreciate it. But it’s DCUM, dumb Karens are ubiquitous.

Well yes, teenagers can be like that. But really, it's not an assumption that PARCC only tests Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. That is just how it is. It's not an assumption. You can look at the OSSE spreadsheet if you want to see precisely how many and what grade level kids took each test. Also, control for grade level. If a 9th grader, say, took Algebra I in 8th grade, so takes Algebra II in 9th but has an off day and only gets a 3, that's not great, but it's also not the case that they're below their grade level. They would only be below grade level if they got a 3 in Algebra I, not Algebra II. See?
