[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you shoud look deeper than just FARMS.

ELL/Special Ed/Economically Disadvantaged %s

CMI:    5.5/33.7/22.7
LAMB: 37.7/12.3/24.6
MV:    20.8/7.4/32.9
YY:     5.9/8.3/9.5
ITS:   4.4/12.3/18.3

Oyster: 12.9/12.0/20.8[/quote]

You just made my point.  YY's FARMS rate is the lowest by far--it's in the single digits!  All of these other schools have double-digit poverty rates; most of them reach into the 20-30% range.  YY also also has some of the lowest ELL and Spec. Ed. rates.  Based on those facts, YY should out score all of those schools, including Oyster.  Clearly, it does not.[/quote]

And if the PARCC was administered in Mandarin, this would look different.  Maybe that's too complicated for some of you, but the kind of families that choose YY aren't interested in the "teach to the test philosophy" - if we were, our children wouldn't spend half their time in Chinese instead of English.  [/quote]

If the PARCC was administered in Spanish, how would YY students do compared to Oyster?  You see where this is going, right?  Despite is relative affluence, YY produced unimpressive test scores this year.  They were tested in the same language that everyone else received.[/quote]

Can you all give the YY vs. Oyster argument a rest or start a new thread. This is getting really old.[/quote]
