[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eliot Hine is on the move. Correct me if I pulled numbers incorrectly, I was using an old PARCC presentation slide of their year by year performance from a prior year. ELA: 2017-2018: 13% 2018-2019: 23% 2021-2022: 28% 2021-23: 34% Math: 2017-2018: 4% 2018-2019: 13% 2021-2022: 10% 2021-23: 19% Of note, the scores stratified by race show very wide differences. Among Black, still improvement. ELA 2018: 9% 2023: 22% Math 2018: 2% 2023: 7% [/quote] Those scores are terrible. [/quote] Yes. But they are moving upward. To evaluate real school performance, scores need to be stratified by SES. Unfortunately, DC doesn't provide that in a helpful way. It's otherwise [b]difficult to understand teaching effectiveness [/b]when the primary differences between school scores are explained by SES. Essentially, if you cut the data by ethnicity, you'll see that school scores don't differ as much as you think they do. Race/Ethnicity White - ELA: Hardy: 86% Deal: 92% Eliot Hine: >95% Race/Ethnicity White - Math: Hardy - DS, too small to report Deal: 84% Eliot-Hine: 86% #s too small to do a similar report for different middle schools for other ethnicities.[/quote] The bolded illustrates why people can look at the same scores and see different things. Or look at scores and try and just dismiss them. Your post reads like it was written by a teacher. From that perspective this is about teaching effectiveness and growth. That is not how most parents view these scores. We look at them and ask ourselves whether our kids will be in classes with a bunch of kids who are WAY behind grade level. You can try and rationalize away that low scores are because of low SES or other reasons, but whether 80+% of my kids classmates are low SES or not doesn't make me feel any better about my kid being in classes with a bunch of remedial students.[/quote]
