[quote=Anonymous]PARCC scores are useful data, but they don't tell the whole story about a school. As one poster above noted, schools that lose students in 4th and 5th grade might have lower PARCC scores but be excellent in the lower grades. Small schools might have greater year-to-year swings because a few kids can change the percentages drastically. And schools that have lots of high SES kids generally have good PARCC scores because high SES kids tend to do well on these kind of tests, but that doesn't necessarily tell you much about the quality of the admin or teachers. On the flip side, there are amazing teachers doing fantastic work with classes that have more poor/at-risk kids, which might not show up at 4s and 5s on the PARCC. So, take the scores with a grain of salt, and drill down a bit into the data. [/quote]
