[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CAPE scores seem low: almost 70% below grade level in math and more than half below grade level in English.

Did they discuss that?

OP no they did not.  But as a data person, you should look at data in the appropriate context.

Look at the data of Deal and Hardy.  Their numbers are just a little higher but they also have much less at risk, english learners, and students with disabilities.

Look at JR, tad higher but again same.

Look at Latin combined middle and high school stats and not too much difference except again DCI has higher percentage of at risk, english learners, and IEP, some groups almost 3-4 times higher.

Look at any other non-selective middle and high school in the city and they are far ahead.

I’ll also add that except for Basis, all other schools the kids in advance math tracks are not taking CAPE if they are pass that level.  Basis cooks their math stats to look good by having kids take geometry who are way pass that.  So if you want to actually compare any schools math stats to Basis, you need have all these high performing kids at DCI from 10th on take the CAPE and scores will shoot up.  Therefore, I just pretty much ignore the math CAPE data at Basis.
