FYI the performance levels will be released soon. I would say the exact date, but I would probably get in trouble-- but it will be very soon. I will share this thread with the team as they would be happy to see how people engage with the data we create.

This data can be analyzed in hundreds of different ways (demographic, individual class performance, etc) but here is an average of ELA scores for each school. I only listed the top 60 or so but there is over 220 in this data set that I pulled. Additionally, this data should have been thoroughly cleaned and presented in a much more user-friendly way before release.

Oh, gee, School Without Walls High School "outranks" Janney Elementary School.

Now, this is a dumb list, and definitely not how to present or analyze data.

Now, this is a dumb list, and definitely not how to present or analyze data.

This provides an overview of the top scores in the district. You can further narrow down the comparison by looking at high schools against other high schools, charters against other charters, elementary against elementary and analyze factors like grades, demographic data, and specialty schools. We know that not all schools and zip codes are directly comparable, but this data offers a high-level view of the top scores in DC. Feel free to break it down further.

Yes average proficiency scores for each school for ELA and math.

? No, it's the percent of total students taking the exam who achieved proficiency. It's not an average.

i.e. precent who scored a 4 or higher at each school

These are proficiency scores. The term average was used to describe averaging of proficiency scores between grade levels. You are correct, the term proficiency should have been used.

No, you will get them in Sept like everyone else

np: Meaning, yes. You will not get them in a reasonable time.

What about the year before. Did they release these? My kid was sure he took the test and also said he and teachers have no idea what happened to the test results.

OSSE released results to the schools, and our school released results to teachers and families. There may be a problem at your particular school.

I'm pleased that the data is released in a way that allows for better school/school comparisons across elementary grades and middle school grades - it's really helpful to be able to see the elementary and middle school breakout for the PK-8 campuses.

I'm really grateful for the posters that take the time to sort through the data, so PP, can you please tap into your ELA skills and find a better word than "dumb".

I'm in Brookland and thought it was interesting to see how the scores for DCB, Lee Montessori, ITDS, Burroughs, and Stokes were all so close.

[Anonymous]

I'm no fan of PARCC, but you have to look at that data generally. It's appalling that DC can look at this data and not claim that there is a crisis in education here. Only 30% of kids are at grade level in math and reading? Hello? We need a major overhaul of the system. And kids who are not at grade level should be in school all year.

Careful with ITDS-- it includes middle school so if you want to do an apples to apples comparison, use just elementary.

A lot of them are in summer school already, yes.

I don't know why you think you're making some original point here. Everyone knows it's terrible. The city is investing more and more funding. Do you have some special solution that nobody has thought of.

Thanks for chatting with us! If I may offer some feedback, I think it would be helpful to contextualize this data with whether the change is statistically significant. Many parents don't quite get how small the PARCC testing population is at a lot of schools EOTP and it's easy to read the data and draw mistaken conclusions.

The data was presented in the way that researchers and stakeholders wanted it to be delivered. It is WAY better than how it was presented in the past. There will be a website that comes out that will probably be better for parents.
