[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At MVCC, reading proficiency for the entire student body is 53% and 19% for ELL students. Math proficiency is 46% for the entire school and 15% for ELL.

At John Adams, reading for the entire student body is 56% and 46% for ELL. Math is 43% overall and 34% for ELL.

Both are significantly under state proficiency levels for both categories but John Adams is the better school based on data.[/quote]

Dig into the data at the VDE website, we controlled  for demographics similar to our child and found the percentages at or above proficiency to be very high and on par w/ Brooks, CB, and George Mason. We did this before we enrolled, and we’re glad we stayed in the neighborhood and went to MVCS. [/quote]

To PP’s point, these cumulative statistics for a whole school are not very insightful. Look at SES, specific grade levels (start w/ 4th if you aren’t sure), gender, and subject matters.

Also: schools are much more than test scores—especially with low SES populations. Talk to current and former parents.[/quote]
