[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All parents don't equally value a school that teaches to the test, or at least they don't equally prioritize that over other factors. Especially true of white and higher SES but not limited to those demographics.[/quote]

This is worth repeating.  Have you noticed private schools don't test at all?  Hello?!  Testing is for poor students to make sure their schools continue to get $$.  Parents who care about education may care somewhat about test scores but aren't obsessed by them.[/quote]

There's a lot of pressure on all charters to maintain or achieve Tier 1 status from the DCPCSB (those rankings took a 1-year hiatus with the shift to PARCC). The ranking is made up of more than just test scores, but they do matter for funding (especially for outside donors), charter renewal and to be considered candidates for replication.

More on the PMF, from which the Tier rankings are derived. http://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/The%20Performance%20Management%20Framework%20Overview%20for%20web%202.12.16.pdf[/quote]
