[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hilarious how Jackson Reed is discussed as this far superior school and its performance level 5 for math is only 3% 😂[/quote]

It's a bad metric for high school math performance.

If the question is about the number of students working at an advanced level, which would be a better indicator? The number of 9th graders who:

1) score a 4 (met expectations) in Geometry/Algebra II OR

2) score a 5 (exceeded expectations) in Algebra I?[/quote]

Neither. It would be a 3d option - score a 5 in Geometry/Algebra II[/quote]

It is true that some high schools, not all, offer very advance math tracking such as AP Calculus by as early as 10th grade.  This means that you have lots of 10-12th graders taking Calculus with preCal the year before.

Therefore majority are not taking CAPE at all.  High schools that come to mind are JR, Basis, DCI.

But you can see the correlation that the ELA 5 are always higher than math 5.  Much easier to get with ELA. It is never the reverse with higher math than ELA with 5

Therefore doubt that any significant MA kids, if at all,  are taking advance math if only 6% kids are getting ELA 5.  These numbers are pretty bad [/quote]
