[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just absolutely gobsmacked by the number of HRCS that turned in flat, weak, or downright alarming PARCC scores.  I know there are reasons other than test scores that people choose these schools, but it is eye-opening to see it laid out like this.  [/quote]

It’s kinda buried in the PowerPoint deck presented today, but one of the big stories on PARCC (again) should be the success of DCPS overall in relationship to the charters. https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/page_content/attachments/2019%20Statewide%20ELA%20and%20Math%20Public%20Results.pdf

For all students in ELA - DCPS 39.9%, DC charters 34.2%
For all students in Math - DCPS 32.4%, DC charters 28.7%

The trend holds for most grade levels and subgroups, with the gap between DCPS and charters widening as DCPS made more growth this year. Take it all with a big grain of salt given differences between the sectors that make direct comparison tricky and we need to put these tests in their appropriate place. But the conventional wisdom about HRCS isn’t always true. [/quote]

At the grade level I noticed several majority low income neighborhood DCPS matching HRCS, KIPP, DC prep, etc. Don’t charters have more motivation to teach to the test given their accountability framework? Notice the lack of the typical chest thumping press release from the PCSB as in prior years. And they approved 5 new charters?[/quote]
