[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps 18:48 meant "first things first" as in "first weed out any challenging kids"

Then "declare virctory as the highest scoring bilingual school in the city". [/quote]

:roll:  Oh please!  Oyster has a much higher FARMs/At-Risk student population than YY, yet it’s still the highest scoring language immersion school inside the Beltway.  There are plenty of “challenging kids” at Oyster.[/quote]

Oyster has 10% at risk; YY has 5%. Oyster's stats are also Pk4-8. Not a straight up comparison.[/quote]

It’s a pretty close comparison because OA is Pk4 to 8th, while YY is Pk3 to 5th.  YY only has 2 fewer grades than OA, and OA is only a little larger (677 students compared to YY’s 579).  Btw, 21% of OA’s students are “Economically Disadvantaged,” compared to 11.4% of YY students.    Face it, OA is the highest achieving language immersion school in the area because it has earned it; not by manipulating the numbers of “challenging kids.”
