[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have the results broken down by demographics? Especially since the overall story seems to be that the shutdown had a much bigger effect on black/AA scores and at risk scores, it seems like the above lists probably just show how many white kids a school has. No?

I'd be more interested to see if there was a big difference once you control for demographics. Did any schools actually handle the pandemic better or worse?[/quote]

Ludlow-Taylor appears to have the best overall ELA score on the Hill and SWS less good (counting all grades), so definitely not just a measure of how white the schools are.

For ELA:

LT: 69
Brent: 66
Maury: 66
SWS: 56
2 Rivers: 39
Watkins: 37[/quote]

Interested to see where things land on math. [/quote]

So I was curious how this was possible given the demographic differences between these schools and it turns out Ludlow-Taylor has among the best ELA scores in the city for both AA and white kids, which is how they managed to come out on top for ELA. For math, the scores for the Hill are rather horrifyingly directly reflective of racial composition with enormous (60!! percentage point!) gulfs in achievement.

So for math:

Watkins 39 (78 white)
LT 44 (79 white)
Maury 59 (80 white)
Brent 67 (81 white)

Only SWS is really off straight demographics with 58 (67 white).

But the horrifying thing here is the AA numbers which range from like 13-20.[/quote]
