[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where is the achievement gap below 40 or 50%?[/quote]

At Oyster-Adams, the black/white achievement gap in ELA is 12%; however it’s 32% in math.[/quote]

There is essentially no black/white achievement gap at Ross:  4% in ELA and 0% in Math.  DCPS needs to bottle and replicate whatever is going on at Ross![/quote]

High income is whats going on at Ross.  How many poor/at risk black kids are at Ross?[/quote]

There are some high income families at Ross, but there are also a lot of middle income students and students from single parent homes living in cramped apartments, plus some students from less expensive EOTP neighborhoods who lotteried in before Ross became so competitive.  From what I can tell, Ross parents tend to be well-educated and highly engaged in their kids' lives, but I wouldn't describe the typical families there as wealthy by DC standards.  The lack of racial achievement gap there has to be attributable to something else, or maybe the sample size is too small to mean anything other than the fact that the Black kids who were tested did well.[/quote]
