[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the last two posters, I’d say that when you’re comparing test scores... test results, you DO need to disaggregate as the kick ass data poster said, because when you do you see that LT white kids are out scoring other Cap Hill elementary schools white kids ant their black kids are scoring higher too. That was the point — one driven home very effectively by hard data. If you want to try say that parents won’t stay through 5th, that’s an opinion, but their 5 graders are testing very well. As a current LT parent with two kids attending, one in 4th, I can tell you we plan to stay as do many others and [b]I don’t attrition will be any worse than at other “top” cap hill elementary schools.[/b] [/quote]

You don't sound like you've been no the Hill for more than a decade, like we have (25 years and counting). Unfortunately, you're wrong. Attrition will be a good deal higher in the upper grades at LT than Maury, Brent and SWS for at least five years, probably ten.  Test scores are beside the point. Few UMC parents give a hoot about them - they care about demographics.  It's taken Brent 15 years to keep most of the ECE parents to 4th grade.  UMC families mostly leave these schools until the upper grades are majority UMC.[/quote]
