The aggregate reports aren't out, but I just was clicking around to do some research on another thread, and discovered that the 2018 PMF/Tiering are active on the DCPCSB website. The cut off for Tier One was 65% this year
Some "HRCSs" Tier One: Basis Upper 97.3 Basis Middle 70.8 DCB 74.7 ITS 74.6 Latin Middle 72.2 Latin Upper 93.4 Lee Montessori 70.1 LAMB 86.0 Mundo Verde 73.3 SSMA 75.4 TR4 72.0 YY 93.8 Tier Two: Bridges 42.3 Creative Minds 55.4 Tier Three: Breakthrough 28.8 |
| How can Breakthrough be 28?? |
| Amazed that SSMA did that well. |

Some up for Charter Review:
Harmony City Arts and Prep: 46.3 Harmony 45.4 |
| Stokes: 70.2 |
Interesting that they went up. Hamony's re-enrollment is awful. |
But their PARCC scores weren't (relatively speaking) |
| TRY dropped to tier 2? |
The QSR was not so hot. With only 94 kids, they must be getting a lot of financial help from the parent company. I have to wonder why a school with such a weak track record is worth operating for so few kids, especially if they aren't retained well. |
| Washington Leadership Academy is Tier One. |
| Link? |
| Creative Minds parents are going to panic. |

Pay close attention to the measures and the weights that are added together to get the PMF/Tier score. This is still not an apples to apples comparison. The measures are different for different schools, depending on the number of students they have in testing grades, etc. Some use PARCC growth, some use MAP growth. Some have 35 points for their growth metric, some have 45. All of these factors play into how the final calculation comes out.
PCSB is not even weighting "student progress" the same at all schools where it shows the same number of points attributable to student progress - because schools have different numbers of total possible points. So a school with 100 possible points, 35 of which are assigned to student progress has a different calculation than a school with 90 possible points, 35 of which are assigned to student progress. |
Breakthrough: low growth on NWEA (preschool assessment) low re-enrollment percentage low instructional support https://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/2018-10-29%20Breakthrough%20Montessori%20PCS%20PK-8%20PMF.pdf |
