Neither. It would be a 3d option - score a 5 in Geometry/Algebra II |

It is true that some high schools, not all, offer very advance math tracking such as AP Calculus by as early as 10th grade. This means that you have lots of 10-12th graders taking Calculus with preCal the year before. Therefore majority are not taking CAPE at all. High schools that come to mind are JR, Basis, DCI. But you can see the correlation that the ELA 5 are always higher than math 5. Much easier to get with ELA. It is never the reverse with higher math than ELA with 5 Therefore doubt that any significant MA kids, if at all, are taking advance math if only 6% kids are getting ELA 5. These numbers are pretty bad |

Also the top performers overall usually score high in both. So you see higher ELA 5 because kids are in advance math track and not taking CAPE at all. |

Vibe isn't quantifiable. Ask around. Talk to people. Get involved. Then you'll know. |

| Also, at the high school level, SAT and AP scores are arguably more telling / relevant. |

If we're talking about public or public charter schools in DC, this basically is not an option. SY23-24 Performance Level 5 for 9th grade students taking Geometry: data is suppressed for all schools, all schools but the following indicate very low percentage (i.e., <5%, <=10%) or fewer than 10 students Banneker Jackson-Reed School Without Walls DCI MacArthur SY23-24 Performance Level 5 for 9th grade students taking Algebra II: data is suppressed for all schools, all schools but the following indicate very low percentage (i.e., <5%, <=10%) or fewer than 10 students Jackson-Reed (Had to go back to earlier data because the latest set annoyingly does not separate by grade level for HS math) |

There does seem to be a public safety issue of criminals targeting students on their way to and from school.

That was 8:45 pm. But still, what little sh*ts. They could no doubt make the same amount of money working at Starbucks but prefer the thrill of mugging. |

MPD confirmed it happened to a student immediately after a school event.
https://nextdoor.com/p/8ctSq3yKGBYp “Robbery - 4500 MacArthur Blvd NW - At approximately 9PM on 12/17/2025, Second District units were called to the 4500 block of MacArthur Blvd NW for a juvenile robbery victim, who had just attended a school event, and was robbed by what he believed to be at least five juvenile suspects who “jumped” him. They took his iPhone and shoes. The iPhone was found a short distance away. A description was given of the first suspect, who is described as an apparently 15-18 year old black male, beard, and approximately 5-05 in height.” |

| There was an Ambulance in the school parking lot last evening (1/8) with several EMTs and, I believe, a few police officers. Seems to be a trend. |

| An ambulance on school grounds does not mean it is a bad thing. |

These are high school kids. It’s not like they are having a heart attack or stroke. I bet it’s injuries with fighting or drug overdose or something along those lines, especially when police is involved. |

Is this a satire? |

| News flash: teachers and administrative assistants have health crises that require an ambulance at times. |
