that is also just the charter data. Could be that high-achieving AA parents who stay in public school use the OOB DCPS more than the charters.
High-scoring kids who add racial diversity to a class might be able to get scholarships to private schools, but that's a topic for another DCUM forum. |

The achievement gap exists in the regular DCPS schools with diverse populations as well. For example, the overall Hearst L4+ percentage is low when compared with other Ward 3 schools. But if you look at the data for just the white students you see that 72% are L4+ for ELA and 78% are L4+for math, which is comparable to the less diverse Ward 3 schools. |

Why do you think that is? (Curious, not asking with any snark or anything.) |

Hearst and Oyster also have significantly more OOB and FARMS students than all of the schools (including Eaton) listed here. |

| how much teaching to the test is there? If I look at the whitest school in DC -SWS- and compare their 3rd and 4th grade results -46% and 56%- to the average 79% and 70% for white kids, it seems that students at SWS are slackers. At least compared to the other white schools in the NW and Brent. Is it the education model? Cap Montessori is also bad, actually much worse. |

Those two examples had really tiny numbers tested (Capitol Hill @ Logan = 59 and SWS = 39). |

SWS only has 3rd grade test results. I was surprised that it didn't have 25 white students in order to report test results for just white students. I was also surprised that their ELA was lower than their math - I was expecting the opposite. |

| For schools that focus on not using computers (i.e., "true" Montessori), we really don't have any idea if low scores reflect a lack of experience with computer testing or actual low proficiency, right? |

| My guess is that the SWS kids 1) had less teaching to the test and 2) less computer proficiency. But that is based on just a hunch. |

I thought the whole point of Common Core was that it was not about teaching to the test but to test on critical thinking. |

would the opposite also hold true then? Schools that focus on computers would test better (given a similar student body)? If that is true, are the NW schools that did well using a lot of computers in their early grades? I actually don't know. |

SWS isn't the whitest school in DC - Janney for one has a higher white percentage. SWS is up there though in terms of percentage of white students and based on that, one might have expected better test results. I wonder if a lack of typing skills accounts for ELA being lower than math. |

| Surprised by the low number of SPED at MV. For such a big school - that's pretty low. |

Thank you for pointing out the inaccuracy of the race statement by the PP poster (I'm pretty sure it's the same poster who always criticizes SWS about this). Is this comparison only for 3rd grade or is it aggregate school results? If the latter, a better comparison would be grade by grade. |
