[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how Stokes is one of the few schools that has most kids getting 4+ on both tests yet underperforms for 3+ given its at risk percentage. That indicates a significant achievement gap: mostly 4s and 5s but also more 1s and 2s than one might expect. If I were considering the school I would want to know how it works with such a range of students.[/quote]

Stokes is a small school that can lead to some variation in the data. Not sure if why you would pick out Stokes, but here is some data that shows why Stokes is doing better than other well regarded schools.

- For economically disadvantaged kids scoring 3+ on ELA Stokes Brookland is 14 points higher than Janney and 18 points than Mann.

- For Black students there are a total of 6 ES in all of DC that have higher 3+ scores on the ELA portion.  There are too many WOTP schools scoring lower to list, but Janney is 28 points lower.

- For Black students there are only 18 ES that have higher 3+ scores for math.  Not as good there, but still 10 points above Janney.

So why would you call out Stokes and not Janney for achievement gaps?  If I were a family of a Black child, I would think Stokes is a fine option.   [/quote]

A 3 is not considered on/above grade level in dcps. Only 4’s and 5’s are. Charters, however, include 3’s for some reason. [/quote]

I'm at a charter and not sure what you mean. We get data on all kids for levels 1 to 5 on CAPE. Only 4s and 5s are considered proficient and on/above grade level. Only 4s and above are measured on the charter board report card (now called ASPIRE). On the other hand, the DC State Report Card includes both level 3 and level 4/5 performance when assessing DCPS and charters.[/quote]

+1.  It’s DCPS that groups the 3+ category with 4 and 5 together.  The percentages of kids are so low for 4 and 5 that they group 3 together to make the stats look better.[/quote]

No. It’s OSSE. DCPS doesn’t assess itself or charter schools, obviously.[/quote]
