[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is Lee's racial achievement gap so big, and what is the plan to remedy it?[/quote]

Why would you assume Lee cares enough to address this gap? There is likely no plan. [/quote]

+1, normally a school with numbers like this and an achievement gap that stark would be making moves to address it, but Lee seems almost proud of it.

Also, if these numbers were really just due to flaws in the tests or a misapplication of standards to the way Montessori education works, you might see low scores but should not see an achievement gap, right? Or at least not a gap that is wider than what you see at other schools.

The impression I'm getting is that Lee is a school that privileged parents who are more than happy to supplement like to plant their kids at for a few years in order to give them a pleasant experience, even if the academics aren't great. If you have a lot of resources and well-educated parents, you might not worry that much about your kids getting a strong education in ECE, for instance. But if you have ANY other needs (remedial help, additional supports, technology access), you will be told you simply aren't adequately buying into the Montessori method. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.[/quote]
