It's hard to say this conclusively without more info (which I guess isn't directly available).  It could just be that Ross has more high-SES black students than the other schools.[/quote]

No. Why try to find a reason to not acknowledge Ross is doing a stellar job? [/quote]

Why the defensiveness?  This is my first comment, and I'm just wondering whether there could be another explanation.  I tend to think that demographics are more important than teaching styles/strategies when predicting student outcomes.  I'm genuinely curious whether the demographics of black students might be different at Ross vs. the other schools named.  Nothing against Ross at all, and I'm happy that the AA students there are doing well (I'm AA myself and live IB for one of the other schools on the list).[/quote]

Maybe small schools with high SES is the secret sauce. Ross only had 12 5th grade test takers.[/quote]

Yup everything goes back to SES levels if I was black I wouldn't want to be a super minority so there is some value in all these posts.

Again to me KIPP and Ketcham are the real stories with scores way above expected based on SES /at-risk levels.

And finally if you are high SES/typical DCUM person your kid is going to most likely be successful whatever school they go to period.
