[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall, PARCC scores at BASIS are extremely high but even if you just look at poor kids at the school the numbers are still really high.  Note the below numbers are just for “economically disadvantaged” kids—the overall BASIS numbers are much higher.

For SY 22-23, at BASIS DC, there were 430 kids in middle school and 233 in high school.  Overall, the at-risk percentage was 7%.  PARCC scores at BASIS that year for “economically disadvantaged” students were a follows:

ELA
55.6% 4+
72.2 3+

Math
27.8% 4+
58.3% 3+

Drilling down for middle school and high school, you get the following for economically disadvantaged:

Middle school (28 economically disadvantaged)

ELA
46.42% 4+
64.28% 3+

Math
25.00% 4+
53.57% 3+

High school (8 economically disadvantaged):

N/A (number of students too low for percentages)

Just for comparison, take a look at how economically disadvantaged kids fared at Latin:

Middle school (34 economically disadvantaged—just a few more than BASIS DC):

ELA
17.64% 4+
52.94% 3+

Math
8.82% 4+
26.47% 3+

Accordingly, here is the bottom line:  BASIS DC is a very rigorous school and not for everyone.  But it is false to state that a poor kid can’t excel at BASIS and, at least based on test results, BASIS DC does a better job than its public school peers in DC at educating economically disadvantaged kids.

Now compare the at risk percentage in the middle school to the at risk percentage in the high school. I’ll wait. [/quote]

Not PP, but I did this and mentioned it and it's exactly the same. Which could mean incoming cohorts have changed -- or not. You can't really tell because the pre COVID PARCC numbers don't have demographic info. [/quote]

What is the percentage? It must be really low for it to stay the same when BASIS loses so many students by the end of HS.[/quote]
