[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, Ludlow seems to have really consolidated its gains! 72 ELA is legit, and 51 Math is a big improvement. Seems like it’s just getting better and better...[/quote]

Look folks this isn't rocket science the richer/whiter the school the higher the scores..... next

With KIPP and DC Prep being notable exceptions to that rule.[/quote]

How did the school DCPS set up for black men (an idea I am opposed to) fare? While I'm opposed to the idea I am willing to give any new school leeway in the first years.[/quote]

You can see Ron Brown's results here: http://results.osse.dc.gov/school/436

Obviously a ways to go but better scores than Coolidge, Ballou, Anacostia, or Dunbar and on par with Roosevelt and Cardozo.

It's worth noting that they only show results for high schoolers who took geometry--if kids took it in middle school, they wouldn't show up here.

For all the people who feel like DCPS should be doing more to cater to the wishes of high SES families (look at any thread on the cluster) looking at the high school scores shows just how much work DCPS still needs to do with the students who make up a majority of their population.[/quote]

That's an easy fix.  No more social promotion.  I would break it down like this.  Everyone has scores for the prior year now.  If a student got a 1 or a 2 they are going to repeat the grade.  It makes absolutely no sense for a kid to continue if they haven't mastered the material for the prior year.[/quote]

And then you’re going to have 27 year olds in class with your 16 year old daughter. [/quote]

Nah I'm talking mainly elementary school.  I'd only have kids fail 2 years max in elementary school.  If after 2 years of failing kids still hadn't caught up to grade level I would have an alternative middle school and then high school focused on trades to enable productive members of society.  Having a kid in a high school who is multiple grade levels behind is a waste of time for the student, classmates, and teachers.  Most of the DC high schools have less than 20% kids on grade level.  It makes absolutely no sense to have traditional high schools in those situations.  I would have one or two sections for the kids who are on grade level and then focus the entire rest of the school body on trades and careers that don't need advanced cognitive abilities.  You can be very productive and have a very nice middle class lifestyle.  Having college prep in these situations makes absolutely no sense.  Long term fixing grade level gaps needs to happen at the elementary school level if you do that then more people can go to college since they will be adequately prepared.[/quote]
