[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It saddens me that folks are looking at scores on PARCC, one of the least respected tests, and not really very interesting cognitively, as a measure for what the quality of the school. I would take a tour, check out the feel, see if you like it, see if you can talk to families whose kids are similar to yours in ability and interest. It’s possible to have a stand out experience even at a school with so-so scores. Latin’s longevity, school culture and small size are two things that would attract me to it. I don’t have a kid there, have no horse in this race, am just an educator who worked at another charter school wants to amplify that test scores are just one measure. [/quote]

There are things in the PARCC data which are interesting even if you don't think the scores are useful, like that Latin, Walls, and JR are the only schools with considerable numbers of 9th graders taking Algebra II. (And BASIS -- obviously, different curriculum.) It's less than 10 everywhere else and 25+ at those schools. [/quote]
