[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC Prep really stands out.[/quote]

So does Eaton[/quote]

Except DC Prep is almost exclusively black. That's the part that stands out.[/quote]

I was looking at black only performance. Eaton does almost equally well and they aren't known for being as strict/rigorous as DC prep. Not knocking Prep, but giving kudos to Eaton![/quote]

Right, but Eaton benefits from 1) the higher SES of the overall school and 2) a large proportion of higher achieving kids. So those things help to lift all boats. Not saying it's not good, but it's apples to oranges with the DC Prep and Kipp populations. [/quote]

Sure but the other schools WOTP and Shepherd have the same thing (I am AA and IB for Shepherd fwiw) offer the same thing but their AA performance is not as good.[/quote]

Shepherd has more than twice the number of FARMS as Eaton (34 vs. 15%) and almost three times the number of "at risk" students (15 vs. 6%):

Not to knock Eaton at all--I have both neighbors and colleagues with kids there, and it seems like a great school--but I'd say Shepherd is doing a reasonable job with its population.  Of course, there is definitely room for improvement.  Based on what I know of the younger cohorts, I'd predict there will be improvement in coming years--assuming there is not much attrition in these cohorts in the upper grades (many IB at Shepherd have gone private in upper grades in years past).  (Full disclosure: I'm also AA and IB for Shepherd with a child currently enrolled).
