[quote=Anonymous]I'll be honest, we were considering switching from our IB to one of these schools, and the PARCC scores did end up being a consideration. But I think the PARCC scores reflect the school culture in a way that some people think is a positive: the school does not "teach to the test." Our IB, for example, appears to be a whole year accelerated in literacy and match compared to the charter -- their 1st is like our K. To some parents that would be a huge plus. I also think that you'll see PARCC scores go way up at those charters in the next few years, as they figure out ways to prepare kids for the test that still fit within their missions. Addressing any real gaps in instruction that the test scores are indicating may be a more difficult task. If the scores are still bad in 3-4 years that will tell you something. Upshot for me is -- if you like those charters and the school works for you as a family, don't worry too much about test scores. [/quote]
