[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a new situation. There have been threads in the past showing that minority kids are not doing as well at PBES as they do at ESS. It would be interesting to try to tease out what happens when the kids are combined at TPMS, but those scores include the TPMS magnet student scores, and you can't tell from parcc data which kids went to which elementary schools, which minority students are magnet and from outside the cluster, etc.[/quote]

For OP's purposes, this is definitely bigger than PBES vs. ESS. The truth is that kids of color do worse at Piney Branch than one would expect, even compared to schools with similar demographics and populations. Some PPs have hinted at why that might be (a parent community that could euphemistically be called [i]involved[/i]) but the only folks who can answer these questions are PBES administrators, who must have talked about this at some point and who hopefully have a plan to serve Black and Hispanic kids in the school.
