[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's another thread with more details, but I would take it with a huge grain of salt. Test scores of Black, at-risk kids end up counting essentially 3x more than white UMC kids through the algorithm, which may or may not be relevant to your kid. A poster went through the Capitol Hill schools and discovered enormous discrepancies with schools doing better both overall and in growth doing worse and another poster pointed them to the fine print where it became clear that ~80% of the score was based on the performance of particular demographic groups in totally arbitrary ways (e.g., some percentage was calculated with every racial group's performance having the same weight regardless of the number of students, unless you were just under a cutoff; so nearly identical schools could have totally different numbers and more diverse schools with more different racial groups would almost by definition do worse).[/quote] Thank you for this insight![/quote]
