[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does DCPS explain the 1.5% for ELA @ Amidon?  Disgraceful and doesn't bode well for the pipedream of a Jefferson MS renaissance.  [/quote]

If you know the school, you know who the one kid is who scored that high.  Backing out the stats gives a pretty good demographic profile.

Agreed that it is pathetic.  Wonder how it will change over time, especially as Van Ness adds more grades and the boundary for testing grades shrinks.  A lot will depend on which kids from PK stay.  I haven't seen much indication that DCPS understands how to teach economically disadvantaged or special ed kids.  When a school's test scores improve, it tends to just be that the student body has become more white kids and less poor.

The fact that the neighborhood was removed from the Wilson boundary is an additional challenge.  Parents who might have stayed at Amidon, knowing that if they lived in the neighborhood they had a right to Wilson (whether or not they went to Jefferson for middle school) are now more likely to jump ship if they get into an elementary school with a better feeder pattern, or to just move in-bounds for a better school.
