I asked for actual links multiple times which the PP was unable to produce, and now posting photoshopped images on some random website doesn't cut it either. I'll stick with the Great Schools data thank you very much.[/quote]

Luckily for us, Great Schools has been updated and it verifies the scores shared by previous posters from the Maryland Report Card.  It also demonstrates that OP was right to have some concerns about how kids of color and low-income kids perform at PBES.

With the caveat that GS lumps the various grades together, here's what we learned from the updated Great Schools:

[u]Piney Branch (percent proficient across all grades)[/u]

Black: ELA - 22%, Math - 26%,

Hispanic: ELA - 22%, Math 20%

FARMS: ELA - 13%, Math - 16%

[u]East Silver Spring (percent proficient across all grades)[/u]

Black: ELA - 34%, Math - 36%,

Hispanic: ELA - 20%, Math 25%

FARMS: ELA - 28%, Math - 33%

[u]Rolling Terrace (percent proficient across all grades)[/u]

Black: ELA - 19%, Math - 33%,

Hispanic: ELA - 9%, Math 25%

FARMS: ELA - 7%, Math - 21%

[u]Flora Singer (percent proficient across all grades)[/u]

Black: ELA - 25%, Math - 27%,

Hispanic: ELA - 15%, Math 22%

FARMS: ELA - 16%, Math - 21%

The takeaway for me, as someone who has send kids through two of the above schools, is that middle class white kids do well anywhere but some of these schools are doing a better job than others with kids who, at the population level, experience systematic disadvantages.
