[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to TRY? [/quote]

They had a bad year?

The better question is to ask the school leadership what they think happened and most importantly, what they will do about it. If they stay at this level for 2 or more years, then it's time to worry.[/quote]

Not necessarily a bad year. The performance score for the prior year only included a couple of indicators -- attendance, re-enrollment, preschool observations (called CLASS). The 2018 report is the first time that PARCC scores are included for TRY. Those seem kind of low especially when you consider that there are Ward 8 schools with a much higher population of disadvantaged kids that are outperforming TRY.[/quote]

TRY Parent here. I spoke to the leadership about the context of these scores. Only the 3rd grade took the PARCC last year (the school only went up to 3rd grade last year) and the 3rd grade does not have a full complement of kids, so only 20 or so kids took the test. More kids will take the test this coming year and as they have been through the whole TR experience, are more likely to have representative scores (implication: higher scores). They are scheduling a meeting to discuss the scores with interested parents. [/quote]

The PMF takes growth on MAP scores into account for schools with few children in grades 3-5. For TRY out of 100 points MAP growth counted for 45% of the score whereas PARCC was worth 25%.

The MAP growth scores for ELA and Math were pretty low. You should ask about that at your meeting. https://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/2018-10-29%20Two%20Rivers%20PCS%20%E2%80%93%20Young%20PK3-8%20PMF.pdf[/quote]
