[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last time I looked at Wells PARCC scores they were very bad. Did they improve?[/quote]

New Poster- 33% of students meets or exceeds in ELA and 11% for math.  That means 60+ kids in each grade for English and 20+ for math.  So overall are the scores amazing?  No.  But the school also has tons of ELL students for example.  Since there is tracking (honors/advanced) for many classes though there is a sufficient cohort of students for me to feel comfortable sending my student.[/quote]

But what does the tracking actually look like? You can tell that for algebra they're doing what a lot of DCPS middle schools do, which is to put all the kids approaching grade level in algebra. Basically, the differentiation between 8th grade math and algebra is "profoundly behind kids" vs. "everyone else." Is it different for other subjects? Is there differentiation across different sections of algebra? (Also, it was 8% or 38 total kids last year proficient in math, so about 13 per grade, not 20+.) [/quote]

Not sure it’s worth anonymously arguing the difference between 8% and 11% but the DC report card website lists 11.7% for the 2022-2023 school year.  Don’t know where you are getting the 8% from.

8% is for PARCC data. You can see here:

The schoolreportcard site is reporting students who tested proficient on the MSAA as well. The MSAA is for kids with very significant cognitive disabilities.

The full data with both is here: https://osse.dc.gov/assessmentresults2023 (at the school-level data). [/quote]
