[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol When poor kids don't do well it's because the school sucks. When high see kids don't do well it's a flawed test. Emperor's New Clothes[/quote] families at these schools know whether they suck or not. It is likely also true that families at title 1 schools know whether they suck or not - sometimes families fight hard to keep these school open despite their low test scores. I believe we should listen to these families too and not just dismiss them. Parents know whether a school is good or not. For HRCS, the most important number is retention between 1st and 4th grade. If they are loosing kids in droves after the PK-k churn, the school has problems. If the classes are fairly stable (just a few leaving for better ns feeder patterns), then the school is good despite the test scores. Parents there know whether the school is good just like you (if your kids are in in 1st or above) know how much and well your kid is learning.[/quote]
