[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]

I think this is largely a function of school choice. There are so many middle school options in DC that there's no way you can do what you're describing for each and every school. PARCC is a first-pass filter that helps people identify a smaller set of schools to further research.[/quote]
