[quote=Anonymous][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). [/quote]

We do have that info. We know demographic details about the IB catchments for Deal and other W3 schools and they are far wealthier than most other catchments. We also know where BASIS and Latin and other schools enroll from and we know those are not as affluent. Why are you pretending the data you want doesn't exist?
