[quote=Anonymous][quote]OK, here's some data that seems to debunk that "dumbed down curriculum" idea. Remember that math is taught in Spanish at O-A.

Results from the 2013-14 DC CAS Math scores, among white students to better compare apples with apples:

- Deal: 74% are Proficient
- Oyster- Adams: 76% are Proficient

So, not only is math instruction IN SPANISH pretty good...but results seem even better than Deal's...when tested in ENGLISH. [/quote]

Sorry, but your comparison is not valid.  First, the OA scores most likely group together elementary and MS students.

Second, you are leaving out those scoring advanced (advanced is better than proficient).

So, Deal's is 88% proficient or advanced in math over all students, and 97% for whites.

For Oyster Adams, it is 80% proficient or advanced in math over all students, and 93% for whites (again, here the score just for MS students is not available)

I assume that  the scores reported by the charter schools include proficient + advanced, so LAMB's 76% is a bit lower than Oyster's reported 80%.
