[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes DC has a huge achievement gap. Discussed at length in the Post story on PARCC (this year and every year before it), discussed by all the officials at the news conference releasing the results.

City-wide proficiency

All students / all grades - 33 ELA/29 Math
Asian 72/70
Black 25/21
Hisp/Latino 32/28
White 82/79
API/native Hawaiian 52/35
2 or more races 66/62

You can see the racial breakdown for every school in the city with more than 10 students in any given subgroup at results.osse.dc.gov  Scroll down the page[/quote]

Sure, but a PP said there is a large gap in scores “all things being equal with SES,” which is impossible to know because there are vast SES differences between white and black students in DC, and we don’t know the SES of any particular black families from the data we have. [/quote]

We don’t. But we know a few things - 68.8 students in District public schools (DCPS and charters) are black, 18% Latinx, 10% white.

80% are economically disadvantaged, 10% are ELLs, 15% have disabilities requiring special education.

Personally I am far more concerned with what is working for kids who are at risk and economically disadvantaged than what is working for high SES students (of any race) because there are so many more high need kids.

I can see your point but public schools should meet the needs of all kids and if they do not then don't get mad when they do not want to stay in public schools and say attend charter schools, private schools, or homeschool.[/quote]
