[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the record, McKinley’s PARCC scores are higher than Jackson-Reed’s.

Look at AP pass rates at Jackson-Reed vs McKinley.  JR has way better pass rates and kids scoring 4 and 5 and on far more AP tests.  64% of JR kids with 50% of the school taking are passing or above while only 25% of McKinley kids with about 44% of the school taking at least 1 test.

HS PARCC is misleading because I believe it stops Algebra II and you have plenty of JR kids finishing Algebra II in 9th or coming in at precalc, so some of the smarter kids aren’t taking the test.[/quote]

Where is the AP data from?  McKinley requires all students to take 2 AP classes so I’m confused where the data saying only 44% of McKinley kids take AP’s cone from.

I would also argue that if 25% of students in a class are passing the AP exam that actually means the class is providing the needed level of rigor for students to pass the exam?  I really doubt 25% of the students at McKinley are self-studying their way to a high AP score.  [/quote]
