[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]

It isn't apples to apples, because there are separate MS and HS equity reports for Latin, but there differences with BASIS (combined MS and HS equity scores). Both have similar racial cohorts in their school. There are also fewer than 10 at-risk or ELL students at WL High School, so no publicly reported data.

If you look at the percentage of at-risk and ELL students scoring 4+ in Math and ELA their stats look about the same. But at the 3+ level, BASIS appears to be doing better with both of these groups, except for at-risk ELA.
