[quote=Anonymous]you can also do it by percentages as the above poster did in the other thread if you are more computer savvy,
or you can do the math

either way,
OSSE did not just provide the raw data for all schools for last year, I'm sure
and I'm sure it did not just provide percentages for elementary schools

you made a spreadsheet based on the supposition that there was no data distinguishing proficient from advanced
you are wrong
and it matters

and there is someone above, far better than me at navigating the OSSE site, who did 
only white kids
numbers of test takers
percentage that came out to
how many scored proficient
and how many scored advanced

to make a pretty important point which ultimately may support your argument - although I cannot look up Hardy
but certainly supports another pp's

Hardy would not have benefited from getting Mann or Key kids in terms of upping its advanced scorers on the former DC CAS- they don't score advanced on average.........and they go to private schools!

it is the Janney kids who are kicking some real ass, and they all go to Deal and many go on to Wilson

and perhaps it explains why there are so few Mann and Key kids at Basis - they are not "up for the challenge"
as per the Hardy poster who wondered why no one from Basis or Deal showed up for the math competition.......

I think I did pretty well for someone who does not know their ass from their elbow where computers are concerned, don't think my grandfather the economist would be particularly proud of me......

but I did find you at least two places where you can discover how many kids are advanced vs proficient, and do it by race, by economics, by gender.....  You are right, there is no conspiracy here.  There is only your wilful blindness.
