[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not 15:19 [b]but another happy Latin parent for all the reasons stated in that post.  I find the hysteria over the scores to be overly dramatic[/b].  Latin (and Basis, or any other charter) is a lottery.  All of the kids going to Deal are coming from solid elementaries.  More and more so at Hardy as well.  Not necessarily true at the charters-- u will get variation year to year.  Also layer on the fact that when Latin began it was in upper NW, WOTP.  Then it moved  to 16th and then it moved eastwards again to its current location.  My speculation is that for some parents at that time, Basis became more attractive-- due to location.  Wonder if you compare scores to students primary residences over 2006-2014, what it would show.   [/quote]

I would be concerned about standardized test scores if the academics weren't solid, but they are.  As a parent who sees the work being done day in and day out, IMO I'm a much better judge of the education being received than an outsider looking at test scores.  Hey, is it possible that I (and all WL parents) are really being duped--that all the teachers are secretly imparting a mediocre education during the school day and selectively choosing all the meaningful work to send home where we see it?  Theoretically possible that such a conspiracy is going on, but I doubt it!
