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.[b] But if that's not enough at CMI, why would it be enough at, say, Burroughs?

Because it's pointless to support a charter (taking public money) for a better option when it's not better. [/quote]
