[quote=Anonymous][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.

How do you know there is overlap in the at risk and self-contained classroom?

The PARCC pass rates are very different for these 2 cohorts at Murch: zero at-risk students achieved 4+ for either ELA or Math; students with IEPs 26% 4_+ ELA; 20% Math) suggesting little to no overlap. While we're parsing out subgroups, ELL students at Murch

Personally, I think students with IEPs SHOULD be counted among the at-risk cohort, they that isn't how OSSE does it. The at-risk definition is students who are homeless or whose families are receiving SNAP benefits or TANF (or a combination of those 3).
