So if a school scores very high for students with disabilities but lower overall should I be even more concerned about the overall score given that students with disabilities are given extra weight?[/quote]

That's a question to ask OSSE - which will be having sessions to discuss the scorecards around the city in the coming weeks and your school leaders. The question is WHY the students overall are scoring the way they are, as well as the particular subgroup you are concerned with.

IMHO I think that the growth scores are the most important. Look at those by subgroup, see where your kid fits in. If your kid is white, and at your school the white kids are being outpaced by 60 or 70 points by all the other white kids in the city, I would be concerned. If they are holding their own (in themiddle or above) it should be ok. You should also look at your own kid's PARCC scores.

But remember, if you are in a very small school, it doesn't take more than a couple kids in any one subgroup having an off day, or blowing off PARCC for whatever reason (or strong students opting out) to totally skew the results. [/quote]

Where is an easy place to find numbers of students in each subgroup that are taking the PARCC (ie, not in the overall school, just test takers)?[/quote]
