[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this is a small sample size issue, but looking at the raw data, ITS and LAMB seem to have horrible success with at risk- students whereas YY and Sela seem to be killing it. Maybe the alphabet/language root decoding is helping math scores? [/quote]

YY has vanishingly few at-risk kids, so I don't know that you can draw a lot of conclusions from it.  And Sela's population is also pretty small.

I think ITS' at risk kids are more in the middle school.due to backfilling, and it is hard to catch kids up if they enter far behind.[/quote]

The conclusion you can draw from YY's set up is that a little Mandarin works to scare away almost all the at-risk kids, the entire point of the artifice.

Go YY, for killing it![/quote]

I wouldn't say that YY is killing it, with even 5th grade scores only in the 60's, but it's better than many schools. YY has a terrible SPED program, so many parents pull their SPED kids. I've come to the conclusion that the head of school purposely keeps the bumbling incompetent SPED coordinator as a deterrent. She's certainly been made aware of the issues by multiple parents yet nothing changes.[/quote]

She changes nothing, period, but most parents and the board love her anyway.  She doesn't like having parents or kids who complicate her work on her hands, and has her ways of dissuading them from applying, or convincing them to go.  The annoying families fall into various categories - at-risk kids who may score low on PARCC, SPED kids, bilingual ethnic Chinese families who can hear the poor Mandarin she and the majority of the kids speak, even really high-performing kids who get bored in YY ELA and math.[/quote]
