[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case people are too lazy to look, here are the results for the top 3 schools:

School                              SAT                     AP

Walls                                1317                   89% scored at least a 3 on ONE AP exam
Banneker                          1088                   48% scored at least a 3 on ONE AP exam
JR                                    1050                   63% scored at least a 3 on ONE AP exam

As far as charters, BASIS DC is by far the top:

School                              SAT                     AP

BASIS DC                         1368                   40% were AP Scholars, which means they scored at least a 3 on at least THREE AP exams; kids who scored at least a 3 on ONE AP exam was probably in the mid 90s.

Tangentially, as someone who knows a thing or two about statistics, it always annoys me the way DCPS releases non-statistics statistics.

"XX% scored at least a 3 on one exam" really tells you nothing about achievement. Without knowing how many exams they are taking, how many kids are taking exams, how many kids are taking AP courses and how many they are taking it's really not possible to compare schools. [/quote]
