[quote=Anonymous][quote]And what about if they remove the rich, white kids from Whitman and Churchill; or if they remove the white and Asian kids from Wootton, would they be different from other schools? What would be their GS ratings? 
Oops, I forgot, Whitman is a former GS 4 rating.

Black students at Churchill are performing better than white and Asian students at Kennedy.

I have the data to back this up. In 2017, 83 Black students at Churchill took AP exams. 66.3% of them scored a 3 or higher. The same year, 41 Asian students took AP exams at Kennedy. Only 41.5% scored a 3 or higher. Fewer than 20 White students at Kennedy took AP exams. 50% scored a 3 or higher.

It's all on p. 18

OK but Churchill and Wootton are 10/9 schools. DCC schools are all 4-7 rungs below which is a big difference. I'm sure that the academics at Sidwell are better than the DCC schools too but so what? Its not a fair comparison when the OP is considering which school within the DCC to choose. The differences between Kennedy, Blair, Einstein, Northwood and Wheaton is negligible. [/quote]
