Uh no. CMI scored in Math the way they are SUPPOSED to score based on their demographics. I said that in PP. You’re burying the lead. CMI continues to miss city averages on almost every other measurement. [b]They are scoring 10-15% lower than a school with 2-3 times more low income and English-language learners. Their 4th graders are 50 points away from the 4th graders down the street at Inspired (a school with similar demographics)[/b]. Overall, white students are 20 points lower than city average.[/quote]

This is mind blowing![/quote]

Could it be that demographics -- by which I believe you mean income, English proficiency, and maybe race -- are not destiny? (CMI says that the population of SN kids is relevant as well, but I don't think the PP comparing ITS and CMI is including that metric.) As a well educated, high SES parent, I heard over and over again that my kids would be fine at any DCPS elementary school, because our family is educated and invests resources in educating our kids well. But if that's not enough at CMI, why would it be enough at, say, Burroughs?
