[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our charter did not have PARCC scores when we got in:  Too new without testing grade.

We are very happy with our choice.  Our child is in the testing grades now and has 5/5 on PARCC.  Ultimately, it's how your child scores that counts for parents not the overall scores for the school.  Kids from high SES backgrounds will test well pretty much anywhere. [/quote]

I dug into the data and this is actually not true (and not the metric I like anyway). Some of the HRCS have considerable differentials between how kids of similar backgrounds do, with a bigger acheivement gap, and worse outcomes for white kids as well, compared to our IB.  Personally I don't think my child is perfect just b/c he is white and has educated parents. I think he actually needs to be taught.  That said, if your IB is really struggling obviously those charters look better. AND if you prefer the charter's philosophy as a better fit for you, agree that the test scores shouldn't hold you back.  [/quote]
