Not the District summary, just DCPS. I haven't seen the PCSB's summary data yet |

| So how do you determine the tiers from this data? |
Anonymous
You can't - the data feeds into the formulas that are used to determine tiers/stars. |

You can't. PARCC proficiency is just one part of the PMF (tiers). Also factored into tier ratings are things like student attendance, median growth percentile, and a few other things. The tier reports usually come out in theh fall -- but before the lottery opens. |

Comparing scores by grade is much more useful to me than comparing overall scores, particularly if schools go up to different grades. Here are scores and growth from last year for some schools I keep an eye on.
School Grade Math ELA Math Diff ELA Diff Garrison 3 33 23 +6.30 +9.70 Garrison 4 43 46 +6.90 +28.60 Garrison 5 29 63 +12.30 +54.70 Ross 3 83 92 -0.30 +4.50 Ross 4 78 91 -6.00 -5.00 Ross 5 65 90 -10.00 +15.00 Seaton 3 39 32 +0.40 +11.50 Seaton 4 43 32 +25.50 +4.50 Seaton 5 49 35 +14.50 +10.90 SWW@FS 3 69 54 +21.50 +29.00 SWW@FS 4 46 36 +13.40 -3.50 SWW@FS 5 41 40 -20.90 +4.30 Thomson 3 42 36 -6.40 +3.70 Thomson 4 36 28 +9.20 +15.80 Thomson 5 24 29 +0.70 +5.70 CMI 3 60 39 -3.20 +17.90 CMI 4 70 35 +22.80 -12.20 CMI 5 37 45 +15.80 +23.80 ITS 3 70 63 +0.60 -2.30 ITS 4 74 84 +19.80 +13.20 ITS 5 32 45 -13.70 -9.30 |

I'd add congratulations to Langdon too--especially if you look at the 3rd grade tests. Hopefully between the improvements in Langdon and Langley, McKinley MS will accelerate its improvement. Its gains this year were not very inspiring (as someone in their feeder pattern). |

| When do MGP numbers come out? I find it hard to get excited about changes in average test scores since that could just be demographic shifts. |

Is Pearson just realizing this? Under his leadership the PCSB is closing schools that are giving at-risk kids a better option than they would otherwise have and replicating schools where at-risk kids under-perform. It's a reflection of the PMF to be sure since the PMF doesn't take consider at-risk status or performance separately from all kids. Still it's an odd statement from Pearson since charters only have a few years to show and prove performance on the PMF and it doesn't matter whether they are doing well (or not) with at-risk kids. |

Amen. It would be so great to havr a solid middle school, really that is the missing piece of the puzzle. Maybe Langley and Langdon can come together to advocate for it. TBH it was a good year for the Bloomingdale area. Walker-Jones put on a respectable increase and Garrison nailed it. Only JOW and SSMA had real declines. |

They should come out when the new report cards are published. |

It's almost always a demographic shift unless a school has a teacher or 2 who can make math or ELA happen no matter who they teach. I've seen it happen. |

Not in schools that don't have much attrition / new students joining each year in the upper grades. |

| Sela is back up, and ahead of MV, DCB, Stokes, Lee, CMI, Two Rivers, and roughly even to LAMB and Two Rivers. |

Usually mid-October. Of course, MGP is also impacted by demographic shifts. For example, for math MGP: All students 50 Black 46 White 65 Special Education 44 |

Close down those schools, sell the buildings and the land, use the proceeds to 1) give $30k vouchers per kid so they can go to proper schools, 2) spend $20k per kid in social workers and wrap-around support. Cheaper and better than what we do today, when locsl politicos simply see schools as a way to give jobs to friends and family. |
