[quote=Anonymous]So, the first thing that you need to know is that TPES and PBES are functionally the same school. They are situated within a block of one another, and TPES serves K-2 while PBES serves 3-5.

The very same kids, no group in or out, attends TPES for K-2 and then PBES for 3-5.

So, your impression that Piney Branch "leaves something to be desired" is actually just based on test scores, right? Well, those test scores are only reported for grades 3-5. So, the exact same kids attend Takoma Park ES and Piney Branch ES, but their test scores are only reported at the latter.

If you drill down into the numbers, you'll see the same trends at Piney Branch that you see at basically any school - white and Asian kids with very high scores; Black and brown kids with lower scores.

How you interpret that is up to you, but the same trend will play out at Deal and Wilson. Not at Janney because it is far less racially and economically diverse than the other schools you are discussing.
