[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've paid attention to the performance of the schools that were recently up for charter renewal and allowed to continue to operate, you would know that SSMA is not at risk for being shut down. Not that it's not a sucky school, but because "public funds" and "accountability" are not in DCPCSB's vocabulary. [/quote] Not this year, because its 5-year average is high even though its PMF score cratered by over 20 points and is approaching Tier 3. I agree that the PCSB tolerates way too much incompetence, and I am skeptical that they would treat high-income kids the same way they treat low-income kids by shutting down their school. But if it continues to hemorrhage students and struggle academically, financial problems are soon to follow. I do not think their 15-year review will go well (since higher PMF scores are required) unless they make some big changes.[/quote]
