[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This entire 'social justice' line of conversation is ridiculous. Seriously. The school looks very diverse to me and every school in the city has its own strengths and weaknesses. Can we get back to talking academics? [/quote]

Sure. White kids do ok on PARCC at ITS, but not as well as at other charter or DCPS schools with similar demographics.

Kids who are not white do a bit worse than they do at schools with similar demographics.[/quote]

What am I missing? [b]What other charter school has similar demographics and has better performance amongst white students[/b]? I guess two rivers is 2 points higher. They have been around twice as long as Inspired, no? I am a black parent FWIW. I do wonder how schools like Eaton, Shepherd, Hearst and Stoddert do so well with the white/black gap.

http://www.empowerk12.org/parcc-schools.html can answer this for you. Among white students, the charter schools that do better than IT among white students are Latin, DCI, Two Rivers, and BASIS. But the kids at IT do fine and I would be fine sending a kid there.

The charters that have higher scores for black students in grades 3-8 are several campuses of DC Prep and KIPP, Friendship Chamberlain, DCI, and Early Childhood Academy.[/quote]
