[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was reading the thread about well-regarded charters versus neighborhood schools. Got me thinking about just how someone evaluates a school and whether it is a good fit for their family. So many different things are important to different people. Decided to take a look at info readily available on DCPS site having to do with ‘unique school indicators.’ Picked school safety and retention of highly rated teachers as things I find interesting – because they are not DCAS scores or demographics – but still important in my book. Safety is described as “student perception of safety and order in the school” on a scale of 1 to 100 as reported by student survey. Retention measures the percentage of teachers rated effective or highly effective who are returning to the school from the previous year. I looked at schools on the Hill; unfortunately charters are not included in the DCPS data. This is what I found:
	    Payne	Watkins	Amidon	Brent Maury	Ludlow-T	DCPS Ave.
Safety	75	65		72		86	75	        95		70
Retention	94	68		83		92	75	       74		83
