[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White non-hispanics at Latin appear to get a lower share of PARCC 4s than the DC average. Where are the high scorers going to middle school?

And how are the suspension rate numbers read? Is an 8 percent suspension rate saying that 8 percent of all students are suspended? Suspensions look better than DC average, but I'm not sure I'm reading this right.

Achievement gap is hard to crack in general, and I would guess it's even harder for a middle school taking kids from all over. Is anyone doing well here?[/quote]

The only schools that consistently close the testing achievement gap are KIPP and those similar (DC Prep, etc).  There is debate as to what the benefits are to students beyond them testing well- KIPP is focused a lot right now on more supports for students into and through college.  There do not appear to be any significantly racially integrated schools that have been able shrink the gap much.[/quote]

Good summary here about how all reform efforts haven't done a ton to shrink the testing gap.
