What is the best comparison? |

Probably 3rd grade for how well the school did distance learning (since those kids did K and 1st remote) or 4th for the school overall. There's attrition in 4th at many schools, but the biggest loss happens all at once in 5th. |

+1. Fifth grade classrooms look markedly different from every other elementary grade in schools that don't have middle school pathways. Just look at the threads on MacFarland right now. Aside from a few pioneers, everyone that can get out does get out. That leaves a much more disadvantaged population remaining in fifth. Test scores would reflect that. |

| We're in first grade at a DCPS Title 1 and while this data is alarming (though not unexpectedly), what I really want to watch is which school bounce back the most and the fastest. My hope is that the systems they're putting in place for remediation will allow schools to show some real progress over the next few years, without taking away from the kids that are on grade level. Time will tell. |

A lot of the Ross 4th grade class leaves for charters such as Basis so this list is misleading. Same is try for Brent, Maury, and other schools either a bad feeder pattern. |

You should actually look at all grades across the school to get a real sense as each individual grade is small enough that there's too much statistical noise... You want the sample as big as possible to actually compare. |

So 3rd and 4th? |

I mean... Ross is 2nd on this list, so not *that* misleading  Though I think it makes by far the most sense to do it across 3-5 to cancel out as much statistically noise as possible; then the smaller testing grades are also weighted less if you do it per student , which makes sense.

I actually think you want 3-5, because the 5th grade scores count less where the class is much smaller... but obviously do matter somewhat in assessing the overall school experience, especially since you don't know for sure that your kid won't lose the lottery. |

| Good luck trying to suss out data by grades. As a teacher at one of these schools, there are so many variables to consider, especially when looking at a single grade that might only contain 50 kids. There were so many rolling quarantines at my school, and I'm sure many others, that you are comparing some schools whose children had maybe 30 instructional weeks to schools that were around 22-24. Then you can factor in SPED populations which are also markedly different at schools. I just wouldn't glean too much from these scores; I'm guessing 12 months from now DCPS is going to brag on their "improvements" which is really just another year of children actually being in school. It's all noise |

Does anyone have the results broken down by demographics? Especially since the overall story seems to be that the shutdown had a much bigger effect on black/AA scores and at risk scores, it seems like the above lists probably just show how many white kids a school has. No?
I'd be more interested to see if there was a big difference once you control for demographics. Did any schools actually handle the pandemic better or worse? |

I'm sorry but this is just nihilistic nonsense. The chaos of the year is indeed reflected in the scores. There are scores available for multiple grades, and these scores track with scores from prior years. You can't draw simple conclusions from any data, and indeed, people will apply statistical lens to the data to adjust for at-risk and demographics in terms of the students attending the various schools. But to just hand wave this important data away is wrong. |
