[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Creative Minds continues its downward spiral. Not at-risk scores a whopping 41/48 compared to their at-risk population of 14/16.[/quote]

Their middle school results dragged down the numbers for the elementary.  3rd and 4th grade results are improved over last year, and math scores are really good - not a surprise as the 3rd and 4th grade math teachers last year were wonderful.[/quote]

Less than half of the non at risk kids passed. Spin it how you wish but don’t blame middle school kids.[/quote]

The 2019 scores are overall slightly better than last year's  How is that "continuing its downward spiral"?[/quote]

That can be explained by the increase in white students into testing grades (ie, 3 more passing kids).

Put it this way: Creative Minds, a school with 1/3 white kids, scored 34% in ELA. District wide is 37%. Their white students scored 61%, what’s the DC average, like 81%? Grade by grade, 17-26% scored a 1 on ELA. These are not kids that are 1-2 questions away from getting a 4.[/quote]

Wow. To dig a little deeper, I assessed CMI vs ITS by combining the scores of 3+ (to account for the almost passing group). Also, the two schools opened around same time and have similar demographics which both serving PK3-8th. ITS looks pretty good. For the equity concerns posted up thread, the push seems to need to be more to get the at-risk or minority kids from scoring a 3 to a 4 which is a lot easier than going from a 1 to a 4.

ELA scoring 3+:

ITS
3rd 77% 
4th 95% (including a whopping 30% that scored a 5)
5th 75%
6th 80%
7th 69%
8th 67%

CMI
3rd 63% (none that scored 5, while 17% scored a 1)
4th 68% (5% that scored 5, while 18% scored a 1)
5th 55% (none that scored 5, while 28% scored a 1)
6th 54% (none that scored 5, while 11% scored 1)
7th 64% (3% that scored 5, while 26% scored 1)
8th 48% (11% that scored 5, but 22% scored a 1)[/quote]
