[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The majority of the student body is not low SES or poor performing. Maybe by DCUM standards but not statistically.

DCI is a Title 1 school with 19% at risk. 55% are proficient or advanced in PARACC ELA; 38% in Math.[/quote]

Where are you getting your stats from ???

According to the 18/19 Parcc results:

ELA: 61% scored 4 or higher
Math: 41% scored 4 or higher

By Grade (including special populations) :

6th ELA: 65 % scored 4 or higher
6th Math: 43 % scored 4 or higher
7th ELA: 66 % scored 4 or higher
7th Math: 44 % scored 4 or higher
8th ELA: 55 % scored 4 or higher
8th Math: 39 % scored 4 or higher

By Race:

Asian ELA: 88 % scored 4 or higher
Asian Math: 64 % scored 4 or higher
Af. American ELA: 59 % scored 4 or higher
Af. American Math: 36 % scored 4 or higher
White ELA: 84 % scored 4 or higher
White Math: 70 % scored 4 or higher
Hispanic ELA: 44 % scored 4 or higher
Hispanic Math: 25 % scored 4 or higher
Two or More Races ELA: 91 % scored 4 or higher
Two or More Races Math: 67 % scored 4 or higher

Here is a link to where I pulled the data from:
http://results.osse.dc.gov/school/248/assessment/1/proficiency/4

PP, have made the generalization that DCI is a low performing , low SES school; that is statistically just not accurate.  One has to consider the entire percentage of students who qualify for special populations. Over 80% of the student body does not classify within any special population designation. Many students in special populations also qualify in multiple categories ((A student could be at risk - new term for low SES, and LEP, and Special Education and their results count multiple times in the statistics).

Carry on.
