[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I don't see a massive issue or 10 years of dropping scores which should alarm parents.[/quote]

That's not the issue; no one is suggesting that Murch's absolute scores are inexorably "dropping" year-to-year.  They're still "eh," while the neighbors keep improving, pushing Murch way down in the rankings.  Neighbors that look just like Murch, somewhat like Murch (Eaton), not really much like Murch (Hearst, Ross) and not at all like Murch (Ludlow-Taylor).

I understand that no one wants to trash talk their own school, I wouldn't either.  But maybe someone with knowledge is feeling candid

You need to go talk to the principal. Ask specific questions about how they use the PARCC data - and other data -  to inform instruction the following yet. Ask for the school's MGP data, which measures growth year to year, and may be better at Murch than those other schools.

If you don't like the answers you get, then you have decisions to make. Murch is pretty unique and frankly more welcoming to families from outside its boundaries than some of its neighbors, and some of those children may not be the strongest academically for a whole host of reasons, but they are still your neighbors and important members of your community.

What you see as a weakness may well be a strength of the school. [/quote]
