[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"improving" means there is increasingly a cohort of reasonably advanced children doing well in the upper grades at each and every one of the feeder elementary schools[/quote]

But there still really isn't at many of these schools or, at least, there wasn't as of the last time PARCC was given. It will be interesting to see what this year's scores look like, but I fear COVID will have negated any progress that had been happening. A-B, Miner, Payne, Tyler, JO Wilson... all still stuck in the 1-2% range for PARCC 5s. At most of these schools, that means ONE kid. Even if we say that the Math & ELA PARCC 5s could be different kids -- and I'm willing to count one 5 as "reasonably advanced" -- that's 2 kids, maybe 3. That's not a cohort. Maury, SWS, Brent, LT, Watkins, VN... at least your kid has some company. Even if we count 4s, the numbers are still fairly depressing and that's just on grade level... not advanced in any way.

I don't think PARCC is perfect and there are all sorts of reasons that kids could overperform... but even if we tripled the 5s to get the real number of advanced kids, we don't have a true cohort at most of these schools and that's just the truth.[/quote]
