[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin’s test scores are pretty bad, in general. Many Latin parents will brush this off. Only you can decide if you’re ok with it. [/quote]

In math, they are lower than three other high schools in DC. Two of those have selective admissions. One has a high attrition rate. [/quote]

Here are the 4+ 10th grade PARCC scores:

BASIS

ELA 87.5
Math 90.0

Walls

ELA 93.5
Math 56.0

Banneker

ELA 84.09
Math 36.0

Latin

ELA 71.91
[b]Math <=10.0[/b]

DCI

ELA 45.26
Math suppressed [27.48 in 9th grade]

And before you say “Latin must have admitted a bunch of dumb kids!” like the PP, know that Latin made a total of two waitlist offers for 10th grade that year. [/quote]

A few posts up from yours was a discussion of why 10th or 11th grade scores in math are often not reflective of the student population as a whole, since most students are no longer taking math PARCC in those grades. But you list the 10th grade scores anyway. Except for DCI, where you shared the 9th grade scores because 10th grade data is suppressed, likely due to the very same factors that make the other schools' 10th grade scores not very meaningful.

Willful manipulation to make a misleading point, or innumeracy?[/quote]

But... Why are BASIS and WALLs  10 the grade math scores so much better?

Hard to claim "manipulate" data when this person just posted the same data point for 5 different schools. [/quote]
