[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eaton has the strongest PARCC results for students of color. Although note that the data set includes multiple schools that didn’t have enough students of color to be statistically significant. [/quote]

Sorry, but Eaton is still pretty second-highest tier compared to JKLM. It baffling that it still can't even draw a majority of its enrollment from the local neighborhood, which shows that it needs more improvement before it gets real traction locally.  For now, Eaton's really an EOTP school that happens to be WOTP.[/quote]

I'll never understand why people need to bash other schools.

1.) Eaton had 54% IB in SY 2016/2017. No data released yet for SY 2017/108.

2.) Even if every single child in the Eaton boundary attended Eaton, at its current over capacity stuffed size, the school could still not be fully IB, there are simply not enough children IB. Perhaps that wouldn't be an issue if the school population was right-sized to its building, but politics preempts reason. [/quote]

Can someone answer the simple question as to why, if Eaton is 46% OOB, the school is quite overcrowded today?  Isn't the solution to manage the OOB student population down rigorously, to right-size the population to the site, as the PP suggests?[/quote]

I mean, I'm pretty sure I gave the right answer - politics preempts reason. Though, with that said, given that Eaton had traditionally been an access point to WOTP schools, including through the Deal feed, maybe that will is changing ever so slightly since there wasn't any protest from downtown about cutting the Deal access...but I suppose since Shepard still feeds Deal and is 61% OOB, that's still one remaining OOB pipeline to Deal after they shut off Bancroft's feed.
