[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hadn't heard of PARCC before - how will this work: replace DC CAS?  Will charters take the PARCC also?  [/quote]

Yes and yes.[/quote]

At first I thought this would give DCPS more chance to obfuscate but now I'm realizing it'll give us some really apple-to-apples numbers to compare with other jurisdictions.

That's when the reality will sink and city leaders will be force to hire real, experienced education administrators to run DC's schools.[/quote]

Also, when the scores follow the students. At this point, that obviously does already happen but not publicly. Students in DC, especially students with behavior problems, move around from school to school.  Then you would really know if the school is good or bad, if the individual scores fluctuate dramatically, right now it is all hard to tell as clearly some schools already have higher achieving students and it is a lot harder to move a under-achiever to basic than it is to move a high-achiever to proficient. Also, Murch used to use their PTA to pay an outside agency to work with their struggling readers (don't know if they still do) so it also about access to resources as this program was not run by teachers but the results were added to their IMPACT scores and inflate the DC CAS.
