[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 down to 3 is 50% decrease at Walls.  That is huge [/quote]

The actual PSAT scores didn’t drop. The cut score rose. And the cut score has nothing to do with DC.

What’s “really really depressing” is the number of people who claim to care about education but seem to be incapable of analysis or critical thought. [/quote]

Agree.  So much judgment based on so little analysis / information.

I understand the inclination to feel that our children deserve better.  I am also frustrated that my child who test extremely well didn't get a chance to test at Walls or to have his test scores factor into his admission to any public high schools in DC, but ultimately, that says less about the quality of the schools than a minor change in admissions.

The reason it's possible to do this, and no have a major decline in the student body performance is because there are far more intelligent and qualified students than seats to go around.

As long and DCPS keeps making every effort to educate the children who come into the system well, and students stay in DC, those two factors will come together and even more DC schools will become among the best in the nation, just as Walls already is. [/quote]
