[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per PP's helpful analysis of the top schools in DC for ELA and Math, it looks like Deal academically comes out on top for middle school. I guess the fights, drugs and other dysfunction I hear about on DCUM isn't affecting kids academically? I know that came across sounding snarky, but it's not intended to. I'm a parent with children IB for Deal (in the future) that has concerns when reading DCUM, but these PARCC results seem to tell another story. [/quote]

+1, Deal looks good and performance is really not different than BASIS[/quote]

Wait-- so a school can backfill-- more than backfill, take students by-right at any time of year-- and yet perform as well as BASIS? AMAZING. I never would have thought such a thing is possible! Tell us, Deal, how do you manage this stunning feat, which is impossible according to BASIS?[/quote]

stupid argument. it’s not like hundreds of at-risk kids are moving into the Deal zone. The Basis lottery unequivocally means that more at-risk kids have access to Basis than to Deal. [/quote]

Reality check: In SY 21-22, Deal was actually serving 10.44% at-risk kids and BASIS was serving 7.76% at-risk kids.  https://stossepublicdocsprod.blob.core.windows.net/public-docs/dc-school-report-card/2021-22/profiles/001-0405(Deal%20Middle%20School).pdf  https://stossepublicdocsprod.blob.core.windows.net/public-docs/dc-school-report-card/2021-22/profiles/168-3068(BASIS%20DC%20PCS).pdf

How does Deal manage to perform as well as BASIS despite taking all by-right kids at any point in any year, serving a higher percentage of at-risk kids, and also a higher percentage of students with disabilities, and a much higher percentage of English Language Learners?  Do tell, BASIS boosters![/quote]

You can't be this dumb. They take all kids from the wealthiest zips in DC. BASIS takes kids from all zips. Why is that so hard for you?[/quote]

It's not hard for me at all. Nor is it hard for me to refrain from name-calling.  If you'd like to see inflow to Deal, you can view it here, it's the second graphic down. https://edscape.dc.gov/page/student-enrollment-pathways I'm sure you'll notice there are a great many schools outside Ward 3 sending kids to Deal.

Another way to view it is with this data: https://dme.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/page_content/attachments/SY2122_Public%20School%20Enrollments%20per%20DCPS%20Boundary_0.xlsx  Deal is 78% in-boundary. It has 11 students zoned for Brookland, 11 students zoned for Kramer, 148(!) students zoned for MacFarland, 16 zoned for McKinley Middle, and 12 zoned for Sousa.

Why does Deal perform as well as BASIS despite backfilling, a higher percentage at-risk, a higher percentage SPED, and a higher percentage ELL?
