[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Providing a score based on improvement is valuable but so is knowing that a school
has and maintains successful students.  Peer group means a lot when it comes to learning and many families look for high achieving cohorts when deciding if a school is right for them.  This current rating system makes families have to dig deeper to find out if a school is really the best fit.  Perhaps multiple rankings instead of one overall ranking would have been better so families can find all of the information easily to make an informed decision.[/quote]

This is an interesting point to me. Wouldn’t you just look at parcc scores then to determine if kids are high achieving? That’s actually pretty easy to find. Am I missing another metric of a high achieving cohort?[/quote]

PARCC is only ELA and math. If you want achievements in any other subject (aside from science), other metrics are needed.

Also, some schools have strong early elementary performance but their PARCC scores aren't great due to attrition and backfilling. There are early elementary metrics like MAP and iReady that aren't part of this rating.[/quote]
