[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either something's really wrong with Wilson or Wilson students/families are staging a protest against standardized tests.

Is data by subgroups/schools/grades yet available?[/quote]

Normally I would regard a post like yours as alarmist, but I admit that I looked at Wilson's scores right away (we have a child there) and was appalled but not entirely surprised. http://results.osse.dc.gov/school/463/assessment/1/proficiency/4

Looking at the subgroups, the African-American and Latino scores at Wilson are unbelievable: 8/3 and 12/8 (English/math proficiency= met or exceeded grade level). And what happens to white kids, most of whom come from Deal or Hardy? Those middle schools' scores, respectively, are 81/90 and 67/63 for white students, but they get to Wilson and descend to 45/40? Or is it that kids with options (Walls, private school) still aren't really choosing Wilson? (My son had those options and did choose Wilson, for better or worse!)[/quote]

Not sure...but I expect there will be some 'xplaing to do. Did kids refuse to take the test? It would be helpful if we could see actual numbers.[/quote]
