[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the Empower dashboard, neither EW Stokes location is doing well relative to their share of "at risk" (both well below the trend line vs. other schools with similar "at risk" percentages)

Mundo Verde Calle Ocho, also not good when accounting for percent at risk.

To the Eliot Hine debate earlier, Eliot Hine is slightly above the trend line (performing slightly better than expected) when accounting for their overall share of "at risk"

This is really the way to review the data.[/quote]

So, it's actually more complicated than that if you're looking as a parent. My kid's school seems to do really well with not at risk kids (like top 10 for ELA) and horrendously for at-risk kids. This is awful for those kids and inequitable, but actually the data suggests the school is good for those not at risk. Other schools have a reverse profile. I appreciate that those schools are taking more of the load & are doing it well, but they wouldn't be as good for my kid.[/quote]

This, this, this!!  if you have a higher performing kid, I don’t care about at risk.  I care bout overall scores and how many are at least on or above for peer groups.

Exactly! They just talk about at risk, but those are the same schools that 90% of DCUM avoids. [/quote]

OK but then you should still filter the data to compare schools by "Not at risk" - no matter what, the proportion of at risk matters. You can't say x high performing school is better than y high performing school when x high performing school has 5% at risk, but y high performing school has 15% at risk and their overall scores are 10% different.

It matters to make apples to apples comparison whether it's for high or low performing kids.[/quote]

Not sure that really matters here.

[i]Almost half[/i] of DC public students are “at risk.”  But “at risk” can mean different things.

At risk means that the students qualify for TANF, SNAP, are homeless, in foster care, OR are high school students at least one year older than the expected age for their grade.

You could be a high-performing kid from a single-parent home where mom gets food stamps.  However, you could also just be a low-performing high school student who missed so much school that you were held back one or a few grades.

More important is whether a school takes any kid (100% lottery)—at-risk or not—and does a great job educating them and giving them a chance to succeed.  In that regard, BASIS DC seems head and shoulders above the rest of the non-selective DCPS schools/charters.

Right, your "100% lottery" which somehow magically results in a rock bottom low at-risk percentage. How wonderful BASIS is![/quote]

Janney is only 1% at risk.  Let's reserve 25% of the seats there for at-risk and bus kids in!

C'mon DCUM let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
