[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody know were they base the school classification? Do they base it on the overal index score or do they look at the percentage in each sub-category? I have seen some schools that are considered "Rising" but their overall index score and % in each sub category is less than some that are considered "Focus". Tubman's scores have declined but is classfied as "Rising". Seaton on the other hand which had positive change in the scores is classified as "Focus"?[/quote] Focus means that one of their sub-groups has performed poorly. If I remember correctly last year for Seaton it was because their Hispanic population performed more than 20 percentage points below the city wide average in reading for Hispanics (I think, though it may have been another subgroup). Because of that they are (or were last year) considered "focus" even though their overall scores are better than other schools.[/quote]
