[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many high schools are focusing on AP to the exclusion of all else. The result: plummeting test scores. You can't give prime feed to  10-20 percent of the herd and expect all your cattle to gain weight.[/quote]

Not in DC.

Banneker is an IB school.
SWW students take many APs and score well - also scored well on PARCC
Latin takes few APs; high school students did better than average
BASIS overemphasizes APs - 10th graders did well on PARCC[/quote]

While it is true that Banneker is an IB school it ALSO offers AP classes....and in fact has shown tremendous growth on AP exams over the past few years.[/quote]

Even better - those students are taking APs and also doing well on PARCC.

Only at Wilson is anyone using AP exams as an explanation for poor PARCC scores. Feel bad for the Wilson principal who is going to take the hit for, what sounds like, bad scores that may be attributable to student noncompliance (per the recent W Post story).[/quote]
