[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true that schools on the east side are going down (and by contrast W schools are staying the same or getting better), as many people are asserting?  The east side schools by us all had Great School scores go up.  I know people on this board seem to place lots of importance on those scores.  I actually see more gentrification in Silver Spring, for example.[/quote]

[b]Great Schools is BS. Pull up the school system "at-a-glance" numbers. [/b][u][/quote]

This is an interesting comment, because "at a glance" doesn't tell you anything about performance.  It tells you how many Black and Brown kids are at a school, how many kids receive ESOL support, but nothing about how those kids perform.  So, if you want to know a school's demographics, At a Glance will tell you.  If you want to know how kids actually do at that school, though, you will need to look at the PARCC scores that are not reported on the form.  What you'll see in most places is that middle class kids do well no matter where they are, and poor kids do poorly.  That's why the sub-data is really helpful.  [/quote]
