[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker and School Without Walls are the top high schools. Lots of DCPS elementary schools at the top of the ratings. For the charters, Latin, Friendship and Center City have campuses in the top.

The official OSSE site is here https://schoolreportcard.dc.gov/home. 
It may be easier to navigate the information on the EmpowerK12 site https://www.empowerk12.org/dc-accountability-scores-dashboard.

Looks like BASIS and Walls have the best numbers.  However, Basis is 100% lottery and Walls selects its students.[/quote]

Is BASIS really a lottery if they kick kids out who don’t pass their many tests? Walls can’t do that… [/quote]

Basis does not kick out kids, they just don't pass them unless they actually pass.  I haven't heard of anyone not passing in high school at Basis.  I have also not heard of Walls accepting any kids who aren't passing in middle school.[/quote]

lol.

Walls only accepts straight A kids.[/quote]

Yes but the cohort of kids are from mediocre schools. No I do not think a kid getting an A at dcps “honors” math is the same as a kid at basis, or the accelerated track at DCI. [/quote]

Um they get higher SAT scores than DCI and have higher test scores. Mediocre, ok lol.[/quote]

Walks has higher SAT scores because they are a selective school and DCI is not.

But if you actually dig deep into the details, Walls is around 1300 and DCI 1200 but DCI does not reject its kids, has higher at risk, much higher SPED and ELL.

The SAT scores at Walks will trend down as the academic cohort weakens with the new admissions screening.  We already see that where almost 1/3rd of the kids are not even in grade level with CAPE.

As to the other DCPS high schoolls except JR, their SAT averages are abysmal like 900’s[/quote]

Why *[b]aren’t [/b] the ‘super bright’ kids at DCI doing better then?

Also all charters are selective, they can get rid of kids after count day and DCPS must receive them. This is a fact.

Oh and ALL the charter schools are scoring so well  :roll:

You don’t have to convince me that DCPS is doing poorly but so are charters schools overall.

If charters were really the solution instead of part of the problem we’d have no need for DCPS. But the problem is the mayor, chancellor,  and council members.[/quote][/quote]

You are buying the kool aid my friend.  Charters don’t get rid of kids.  But if they can’t meet the needs of sped kids or something, then they let families know.  They are not given the same money and resources for this compared to a whole school district like DCPS.

The super bright kids at DCI are doing better.  This has to be true if the SAT average is 1200.  That means kids are getting higher and lower scores to get that average.

BTW, here is breakdown of stats for DCI and Walls

DCI
17% at risk
19% sped
17% ELL

Walls 
7% at risk 
1% sped 
1% ELL

DCI has more than 2 times at risk and a whooping 17-19 times more sped and ELL.  Yet their SAT average is only 100 pints lower at 1200.  If you filter the SAT scores and see what the average is of the top 20% of the kids at DCI, I bet it would be at least 1300 and maybe higher 1400.

You my friend, are not working in education.

It’s also not a straight 100 - it’s 150ish.

Looking at the data the top 10% are not getting better scores.

Also these are 2 schools, the schools DCI is near have DOUBLE and TRIPLE the amount of at risk kids and sped.

And do not twist my words, charters get rid of the worst kids, not all. This is easily verified and the fact that pretty much only the US does charter schools-yet we are still behind. Charters aren’t the solution. US education sucks and needs change. [/quote]
