[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure ask them to work harder. Let's give them supplies and money to do that. Very few schools in America, much less districts or states have "closed" the achievement gap. Take a look at Wilson/Deal. BY plopping right into Ward 7 my best guess is that WL was trying to expand access to its speciality offering and be more responsive to that community. I'm guessing they would even learn and grow by being IN that community. But let's take a step back..a school wants to expand simply to be more equitable, and get screamed at for not being equitable enough. So bo Socrates for the Ward 7 kids. Everyone would prefer to be right than do right. #nogooddeadgoesunpunished #noplatoforyou! #onlyinDC #publiceducationisanightmare[/quote]

They don't necessarily need more money. Perhaps they could get out and go visit some peer institutions and learn how others are getting better results with the same populations. BASIS, Deal, DCI and Hardy are all doing better with those subgroups.

[b]Maybe the charter board should beg DCI and BASIS to expand into ward 7?[/b] Latin is not a Basis or a KIPP. Its a one of school without a national organization and resources behind it. If the good citizens of DC dont want it to expand, it shouldn't. The good children of ward 7 can read Latin on buildings, but not in school.[/quote]

Not according to the analysis presented at the charter board meeting. If considering the performance of at-risk students, BASIS would have earned 32 on the PMF (Tier 3 - low performing). So while Latin is also low at 39 for at-risk performance, they are doing somewhat better than BASIS.[/quote]

DCI isn't doing great either with at-risk based on what was presented at the PCSB meeting.[/quote]
