[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big improvement at Two Rivers, all campuses.

Slight dip at ITDS.[/quote]

I don't mean this as a jab to Two Rivers, just want to make sure I am looking at site correctly. I went to the EmpowerEd site, and sorted by performance of 'all students'. When I sorted by school, it looked like they dropped 2-4% from last year's scores, and a range of 3-21% less than pre-pandemic. Again, not judging that school at all, and I think the emphasis on these tests is not the best way to use our energy. But just wanted to ask if I was looking at that data incorrectly before I started looking at other data. [/quote]

It's totally possible that I'm doing it wrong. You have to be really careful looking at all the subgroups and it's easy to mess it up.[/quote]

Not PP but it automatically sets to at risk group so you need to change drop down to all students.[/quote]

IMO that is the strongest way to interpret these test results. If a school improves its scores bc the demographics shift and they have more affluent kids it doesn't mean as much to me. Schools that do the best job at chipping away at the achievement gap should be celebrated the most. [/quote]

This is not necessarily true.  Reality is that the teachers focus all their time on the lowest performing kids to help them improve and your high performing kid is the “helper” or gets placed on computer programs.   That is how they move the needle just a little.  it’s impossible to differentiate when the achievement gap is so large and the pressure from DCPS is on the lowest performing.  They could care less if your kid is not learning much because your kid is on grade level and “fine”.[/quote]
