[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No educated opinions on why Murch can't keep it together?  The answer can't be that it has a couple self-contained classrooms -- it always has. This isn't a new factor that explains persistent, relatively poor performance[/quote]

The at-risk percentage is much higher at Murch. The percentage of at-risk students is so small at most of its neighbor schools it isn't even tracked.

Murch 14%
Janney  (not tracked)
Lafayette 3.3%
Mann (not tracked)
Hearst 6%
Key not tracked 
Eaton 6%
Shepherd 13%
Oyster Adams 10%

There is a lot of overlap between the individuals who are counted as "at risk" and the individuals in the self-contained classrooms.  Which, again, have been present all along in Murch for many years as its relative position has dropped compared to the schools listed above, plus a list of schools closer to downtown with even higher percentages of at-risk kids.

I just looked at the linked dashboard and don't see a dramatic drop over the years from the data they show.  There seems to have been a problem with the 5th grade math this year which is odd since the same teacher has been there for a long time.  In additional that cohort scored highly as 4th graders so something happened there. But over all there was a mild dip in scores which most of the schools listed above have had before too.   Example Janney Math 2014-2015 and reading 2015-2016.  I don't see a massive issue or 10 years of dropping scores which should alarm parents.[/quote]
