[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The drop at Wilson is bad. I suspect some of it is kids not taking the test and kids not caring about the test. Also, didn't they made Seniors take the Geometry test last year if they hadn't taken it before -- even if they took Geometry at years prior? But that may not explain it all.

But the focus on Wilson ignores the fact that other high schools are still scoring 0% on the math portion. It doesn't matter where your kids go to school, that is alarming when you look at education in DC.[/quote]

I really don't put too much weight into the test since my smart, white, high SES kids tend to do poorly (sorry Wilson and Deal).

But like you I am shocked at scores of the other high schools.  Eastern I actually had hopes for.  Tech, horrible.  Then you look at the ones they sunk hundreds of millions of dollars renovating -- pathetic.  Truly pathetic that those teachers are allowed to continue to work for DCPS.[/quote]

Oh, right.  Must be the teachers.  Fire the teachers.  Hire new ones.  Then check the scores.  Wait a minute.  We've been here before.[/quote]

Its not just the teachers. Its the "peer groups." C'mon guys. We know where this is going. [/quote]

+1.  We need to fire the families attending these schools and only allow better families to attend them.  Barring that possibility, paying for private school is the answer.[/quote]
