[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Southwest and was so pleased to see Amidon's improvement. A bunch of community members offered weekly small group or one-on-one math tutoring to 3rd graders and it looks like that helped (of course, more credit is due to the teachers!).

Jefferson Academy is also showing improvement. This is the first year they had enough white students for their scores to be broken out and they were 100% proficient in ELA and 91% in math--[b]better than the same group at Latin, Deal, or Stuart-Hobson[/b] (the only schools I checked). The school also exceeded DC averages for ELA for both at-risk and non-at-risk students, though math has a ways to go. [/quote]

SSS to reach that conclusion for Jefferson and probably Stuart Hobson.  Shocking that white students are more affluent and less likely to be at risk wherever they are in DC.  Not really news.[/quote]

I don't know what SSS means but if white Jefferson students are doing better than white students at Deal, SH, or WL, it should help parents of white kids IB for Jefferson feel more confident enrolling their kids there. I often hear people in various parts of the city say their IB school is "not an option" because of concerns that the school is too focused on bringing up the scores of at-risk kids and won't serve their kid well, or because they're worried their kid won't have any high-performing peers. Jefferson's test results should help dispel both of those concerns (I'll be curious to see the MGP scores as well), though I know there are still plenty of families that will make other middle school choices.

Jefferson is 1% white. How many students is that? It’s easy to reach 100% proficient if you’re only talking about a couple of children.[/quote]

may need a fact check but if not 1% it's not [i]much [/i]higher.  thus small sample size (SSS)[/quote]
