[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone interested, here are the percentages at select DCPS high schools of students who tested above grade level in the CAPE ELA and math tests:

ELA

Walls 66.11
Banneker 36.87
J-R 26.59
McA 5.53

Math

Walls 8.43
Banneker 5.8
J-R 1.68
McA 0.00

Wow-these schools don't have a lot of higher fliers in math.  And MacArthur has a lot of room to improve.[/quote]

High fliers in math would have taken the math Parcc in middle school and not show up in a high school's numbers. It's not surprising to me that if kids taking algebra I or geometry in high school, few would score a 5.[/quote]

We've been through this. Very few students aren't taking the math PARCC in 9th grade. There were 22 9th graders at JR who took ELA but not math, 13 at SWW, and ZERO at Banneker.

We can also look at middle school geometry scores in the state-wide data. They do very well in terms of passage rates, but fewer than 20% of them get a 5.

Assign 20% of the missing kids a 5 (assign somewhat more if you assume some of the kids who do less-well in geometry retake it) and those school numbers are not changing much. (At Banneker, they're not changing at all!) [/quote]

You have to look at what PARCC test they are taking though. Getting a 3 in Geometry as a 9th grader is not the same thing as being below grade level.[/quote]
