[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that many high fliers in math have left DCPS by middle or high school.

The top students are not staying in the system and even less now.[/quote]

That's not "the reality"? I'm sure you can find high fliers in math at Walls, JR, BASIS and McKinley Tech.[/quote]

The point is the majority have left.  Of course there are a few but overall percentage is low in DCPS.

It’s common knowledge that families with high performing kids leave and this has trended higher in the past few years as “equity” issues dominate.  That is why the data is so bad for high school.  PP above is correct.  It’s not because there are so many high performing kids are not taking the PARCC.

These are two very different conversations. Standardized tests in high school do not capture all students at each level and provide a very skewed picture of how the school is doing. This has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum and you can find a lot of information about this elsewhere as well. Lots of families do leave the public system by high school so that is also true but there are a lot of high achieving children who remain in the system as well. Believe it or not, one test score per year is not the full description of all of the students in our school system.[/quote]
