I never claimed that the school's overall scores on standardized tests relate to your individual child's learning. I claimed that statistically, a school with high FARMS rates doesn't perform as well as a school with low FARMS rates.[/quote]

Now we're going around in circles. What does it mean for a school to perform well, and how do you know if it's doing that?[/quote]

Yes, I've done that, and so has at least one other PP. The piece at the link measures school performance by overall PARCC score at the school. "Well-performing schools" have higher overall PARCC scores than "not-well-performing" schools. According to this, you know that a school "performs well" if it has high overall PARCC scores. Schools with lots of poor kids have lower overall PARCC scores and therefore do not "perform well".

But the purpose of a school is not to have a high overall PARCC score. It's to provide an education to its individual students. [/quote]
And how do you suggest we measure that? World of mouth on DCUM?[/quote]
