[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]because those scores are higher than many if not most of the in-boundary public schools for the students who are attending the listed schools.[/quote]

This is the case for my family.

We are zoned for LaSalle Backus.

For 2015-2016

13.2% met or exceeded expectations on Math. 
10.8% met expectations in ELA. No one exceeded.

We attend one of the schools above. Our children get a great education with extensive art, dance, and social and emotional educational. We are thrilled.  And yes, they do great on tests so I’m not that worried. They love reading and love learning in general.

I am truly grateful to the founders of non-profit charter schools for offering my children educational opportunities they would not otherwise have in DC.

If it was your kid, would you truly feel differently?  Would you feel comfortable sending your children to a school with the scores above?  [/quote]

I do.  I would not want to continue to the testing grades, but for Pk3, PK4, and K, it has been good.  Test scores are a function of demographics and the school is gentrifying.  A lot of our low-scoring kids are recently arrived from other schools.  The kids who have been at the school for a while do better.  So dig into the data and you may be surprised.[/quote]
I am the PP above. My oldest is in 2nd and the scores for LaSalle Backus have remained the same for the past decade. Do you send a child to LaSalle Backus?  If so, id love to hear your experience especially with 3rd and up. If not?  Then thanks for playing but no. There’s nothing exciting hiding in the test scores there. I named my zoned school, what’s yours?  [/quote]

Not gonna say because it would out me-- we are one of just a few gentrifying families in K.  Sorry you aren't seeing improvement.  I wish you well.[/quote]
