They should be used to it - 3rd year they have been mid Tier 2.

The percentage of economically disadvantaged students did grow by 10% last year though.

Testing - growth and proficiency low for PARCC grades

Really low growth on NWEA for the younger students https://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/2018-10-29%20Two%20Rivers%20PCS%20%E2%80%93%20Young%20PK3-8%20PMF.pdf

Perhaps accounted for by middle school? I know a few longtime CMI families who've left recently prior to middle school.

They went from 59.3 last year to 55.4 this year. The growth measurements are very low.

Some "HRCSs"

Tier One:
Basis Upper 97.3
Basis Middle 70.8
DCB 74.7
ITS 74.6
Latin Middle 72.2
Latin Upper 93.4
Lee Montessori 70.1
LAMB 86.0
Mundo Verde 73.3
SSMA 75.4
TR4 72.0
YY 93.8



Tier Two:
Bridges 42.3
Creative Minds 55.4


Tier Three:
Breakthrough 28.8

NOT on your list - EL Haynes elementary, which narrowly "beat" DCB, ITS, TR4, Mundo and SSMA, with an overall score of 75.5. And it has a student population that is over 70% economically disadvantaged.

+1 but also note Haynes is only through 5th, so they don't have 8th grade measurements which usually hurt other pk3-8 schools' overall scores like ITS and TR. However, I have always thought that Haynes is a stellar school.

Haynes is measured 3 times -- ES / MS and HS.

The MS is Tier 2 this year. The HS is Tier 1.

Anyone getting Access denied error?

Yep - apparently someone at PCSB realized these went live early.

There is a press conference planned to release these tomorrow.

You can still search them via the "find my charter school" button in the top right. Enter school name and then click on PMF report

Sela is also Tier One JUST BARELY but their number is dropping (74.1 to 60.7). Here's a question I have about Sela that also may apply to Harmony and others. They projected in their charter school agreement to have 310 students enrolled in SY 17-18. They had 202 students last year. How do they keep the lights on or are they just scaling their size and model to the reality of their enrollment?

Harmony's ceiling was 432 students for last school year. They had 94 students enrolled.

There is no way 432 kids would fit in that building.
