[quote=Anonymous]Hi all - I'm new to DC public schools and trying to get the lay of the land. As far as academics, where do you folks get data on different schools? There are pages on the My School DC site (ex: https://www.myschooldc.org/schools/profile/149) that have some basic PARCC scores, but it's not broken out by grade or year or demographics or anything. And honestly, I'm not even sure what 1-5 means (is 3 on grade level?) Doesn't seem fair to compare a K-5 school with a K-8 school if I can't break out the grades.

Where do I go to get more details on this?

And what about this STAR thing I've heard about? I don't see those scores by school anywhere.

Is there anything besides test scores and empty phrases ("Rigorous Academic Programming" that could mean anything) that I can use to compare schools on academics? Name of curriculum or if there's differentiation or anything like that?

I'm considering a giant list of schools for my kid for next year (K) and I can't go to 35 open houses. I've gotta find some way to winnow beyond just location and reputation on DCUM (which obviously comes with it's own biases). [/quote]
