[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello 50 point achievement gap at its.[/quote]

Isn't it always bad at ITS? I know it was last year.[/quote]

Yes, it was last year too. Families have been vocally upset about it, administration also, and [b]one of the principals transitioned to a new position this coming school year focused on access, culture, and equity. We'll see...[/b][/quote]
Sounds like an Onion article. I hope more is being done than move a manager to focus on flashy words. Hiring (a lot) more (well-trained!) professionals for pullouts? Expanding school hours/calendar? Free academic-minded school days out programming? *healthy* *nutritious* meals at school? Parent education on screentime? More social workers and actual programs that social workers can use to help at-risk students' families with? Alternatives to social promotion? 
Sure, implicit bias trainingmight be necessary, but it won't be enough to raise PARCC scores.[/quote]

If my family was poor or my kid were otherwise at-risk there is no way I’d enroll at ITS. Any neighborhood DCPS would be better. Doesn’t matter how many culture experts they hire. Would you?

This could be the goal. Don’t serve these students well and you are left with the high-SES kids who can focus on more ‘Interesting’ things than basic math and ELA. Depressing. [/quote]
