OK Data people.
Have at it.
OSSE buried the release of CAPE results
I don't have 20,000 lines of data in me

EmpowerK12 published CAPE dashboards which are easier to navigate than the OSSE spreadsheet.

Does the original data just not have the “5” scores broken out?

Well, now I know why there was so much shuffling at YY

Big improvement at Two Rivers, all campuses.

Slight dip at ITDS.

Small dips at SWW--similar to those seen at many other schools--seem to challenge the constant push of "everything is awful now that the entrance test is gone"

I don't mean this as a jab to Two Rivers, just want to make sure I am looking at site correctly. I went to the EmpowerEd site, and sorted by performance of 'all students'. When I sorted by school, it looked like they dropped 2-4% from last year's scores, and a range of 3-21% less than pre-pandemic. Again, not judging that school at all, and I think the emphasis on these tests is not the best way to use our energy. But just wanted to ask if I was looking at that data incorrectly before I started looking at other data.

It's totally possible that I'm doing it wrong. You have to be really careful looking at all the subgroups and it's easy to mess it up.

Data folks, what is the margin of error for year over year changes? 3-4%? More?

Not PP but it automatically sets to at risk group so you need to change drop down to all students.

IMO that is the strongest way to interpret these test results. If a school improves its scores bc the demographics shift and they have more affluent kids it doesn't mean as much to me. Schools that do the best job at chipping away at the achievement gap should be celebrated the most.

That’s not the only reason people look at the data, though.
