Tell me you think you're clever without telling me. (Or that you don't have much familiarity with PII in school settings.) |
Great to hear! We are inbounds for Hyde. |
Do the schools have the students' individual scores? Can I call or go to the school and get my child's score? |
No. Late September. |
This is a great dashboard. Very interesting to see YOY results as well as results compared to the pre-COVID baseline. |
Technically yes. I can see every student’s score in MTSS Panorama. |
Right - the school/teachers can see them, but I am under the impression that they do not have permission to share the scores, right? |
that’s really not right. if they are already making decisions based on the scores, I need to be able to see them too. |
Why don’t you lobby OSSE to develop an online portal for releasing scores, similar to the College Board portal? Then we can spend a lot of tax dollars on a contractor to build one. |
NP they don’t really have to do all that. They can upload the physical report into Aspen like report cards. Save a lot of postage. |
Is Aspen an OSSE platform? I thought it was DCPS. |
However, this dashboard doesn't really tell you much about picking a school because you have to take other factors into account and drill down further. For instance, you should look at Brent and Maury scores for 4th grade since a lot of high-scoring kids leave for Basis, Latin etc. for 5th. Similarly, you should look at 9th grade for Basis, Latin, DCI, etc. since these schools start in 5th or 6th grade and you want to see the scores of kids after they have been at those schools for a few years. However, there are some interesting details here. For example, for 4+, Banneker math scores are 38% lower than 2019 and Walls math scores are 16.7% lower. Apparently, learning math during the pandemic was a challenge even for normally high-achieving kids. |
No, high achievers aren’t taking PARCC math at Banneker. High achievers are past algebra by high school. |
Pre-pandemic, both Banneker and Walls used PARCC scores in admissions. Post-pandemic, that’s not allowed. That’s why math PARCC scores fell at both schools. (English PARCC scores are easier to predict from a writing sample and/or interview.) |
