[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Candidly, I worry about lack of tracking at Deal and Latin when it comes to the general survey courses, which make up 80%? 90%? of the schedule. Kids in my kid's demographic profile performed almost exactly the same on the DCCAS, [b]although interestingly to me, more kids [i]In this very specific demographic group[/i] were more likely to score "Advanced" at Deal than at BASIS or Latin[/b]. Much more likely, statistically speaking. That last factor gave me pause. [b]What do you think is at play with that?[/b] And playing the what if game, assuming lottery gods smile, which of the 3 would you select? [/quote] The data you raise, if true, then it would indicate that there actually IS more tracking, differentiation, or whatever at Deal. Could be a "critical mass" thing. And, as far as I know, there is ability-grouping at Deal, as there is in other public middle schools in DC. They just will never call it that.[/quote]
