[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the Empower dashboard, neither EW Stokes location is doing well relative to their share of "at risk" (both well below the trend line vs. other schools with similar "at risk" percentages)

Mundo Verde Calle Ocho, also not good when accounting for percent at risk.

To the Eliot Hine debate earlier, Eliot Hine is slightly above the trend line (performing slightly better than expected) when accounting for their overall share of "at risk"

This is really the way to review the data.[/quote]

So, it's actually more complicated than that if you're looking as a parent. My kid's school seems to do really well with not at risk kids (like top 10 for ELA) and horrendously for at-risk kids. This is awful for those kids and inequitable, but actually the data suggests the school is good for those not at risk. Other schools have a reverse profile. I appreciate that those schools are taking more of the load & are doing it well, but they wouldn't be as good for my kid.[/quote]

Disagree with the interpretation here - this indicates that not at-risk kids at your school do well primarily because of their SES, not that your school's teaching is particularly extraordinary.[/quote]

That read doesn't make sense because I'm comparing it to how other schools do with "not at risk" kids. Apples to apples comparison. My school actually has a more mixed economic population/a fair number of at risk kids too, so it's not like these kids are among the wealthiest in DC (in fact they are definitely not).

Also, keep in mind there very much are schools with the opposite profile. Comparatively well with at risk kids; comparatively poorly with non-at risk kids. Likely at least in part due to their choice of focus.[/quote]
