[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The percentage of kids below/at grade level really is not a function of how effective the school is.  SO many students arrive at middle school incredibly far behind where they should be.  This is a function of so many factors, including quality of elementary school education, pandemic, socioeconomic status, etc. While there is still a lot of progress to be made, the school was recognized earlier this school year for math and reading growth that exceeds other middle schools.[/quote]

This. Middle school PARCC scores are just not a very informative metric. A middle school only has three years with each kid, best case scenario, to make up for them being many years behind when they come in. Look to growth metrics and other quality indicators such as retention and published student work.[/quote]

When, after three years, the data looks like this, you are not doing an effective job:

Proficiency rates for 8th grade at EH:
ELA: 15 of 75 (20%)
Math (8th grade): data suppressed (<5%)
Math (Algebra 1): data suppressed[/quote]

I think this was from a weird  post-covid year where there was a lot of attrition in 8th grade. [/quote]

If you add 8th grade math and Algebra I together (done by selecting Grade of Enrollment as 8th and Tested Grade/Subject as All), it's 5.26% proficient. So quite bad.

Looking at the kids scoring 3-5 on the PARCC, just for more context, they do have a bunch of kids scoring 3s.

ELA is 38.66%
8th and Algebra I combined is 17.10%
