[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=[b]Anonymous]its kinda shocking how the white student data is pretty uniform across schools - there isn't that much of a gap between the best and worst. But if you look at minority performance, there is a huge gap.[/b]

Looking at english language, of the 37 DCPS schools with enough white students for data, all but 2 have >70% passing rates (exceptions are Mann and Bruce-Monroe).

Look at AA students, you have schools that range from 90% pass rates to under 5% pass rates. Ross has 81% of AA students pass, and Savoy ES has under 5%.

Sidenote, at walls - who are the 18 students who can't read/write. Are they just those who didn't answer any questions and just turned in a blank piece of paper? (I know people who did this when we had state standardized tests back in the day and just read a book in the hallway)[/quote]

This is surprising to no one who is black or even friends with black people. I am shocked that someone who lives in DC needs it explained to them that performance correlates to SES and not race. It just so happens that in DC low-SES often times correlates to black. That does NOT mean that all black people are low-SES.

So, yes, black folks with money (who live IB for Ross and JKLM) have test scores that mirror white folks with money. Low-SES folks have lower test scores. [/quote]

Which is why we need a better measure of SES to actually compare schools... yes, there is percent 'at risk' is a more extreme measure that doesn't get at the nuance that is helpful and that people are arguing about (i.e. schools appear similar, but perhaps x school is actually more middle class than y school which is more upper class).
