[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are the entire student bodies doing at those schools, not just the white kids?  I have asked about successful middle schools, not just schools where white kids can succeed.  (and by white kids in DC I mean advantaged kids because, unlike many other places, most white kids in DC are children of educated parents that elect to live here)[/quote]

You seem to be wanting it both ways.

You appear to concede that test results are largely a reflection of demographics. Yet you want to judge the success of a schools based on "entire student bodies" despite huge demographic disparities between schools.

I asked about successful middle schools and I did not limit it to the white kids.  [b]If you want the high performing non-white children to go there you better be able to show more than the white kids do well.  [/b]

DC has done extremely well in early childhood education, why was that successful and their attempts improve middle schools mostly a failure?

[b]DC has high performing magnet high schools and Wilson.   Why is that?[/b] Why is Banneker such a huge success for AA students?[/quote]

I'm having a hard time understanding your definition of "high performing."

Only 9.9 percent of black students at Wilson meet or exceed expectations for math. By contrast, at Jefferson, 18.3 of black students meet or exceed math expectations (and 33.7% meet or exceed ELA expectations).

So do you believe that Wilson is able to show that "more than white kids do well." How about Jefferson?

+100

Please just say you really don't want your dear children around Black kids who are from EOTR (which is true at JA for all of the hang-wringing that goes on, on this site and beyond. There are plenty of OOB spaces.) [/quote]

+100 too. Exactly. These PPs are showing themselves.[/quote]

Immediate PP here - one caveat is that Wilson is HS and Jefferson is MS, so perhaps the Deal to JA is the better comparator.[/quote]
