[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what's the bottom line on thes utility of these things for parents? It seems like it's primarily designed to determine where to direct extra funds and not to determine the comparable quality of the various schools. I shudder to think how much DCPS spent on consultants to develop this.[/quote] Disagree. In a city with so many students at risk, I think having a way to measure student growth across both sectors and by student group is helpful (achievement was available before). I like being able to teacher experience and student retention by subgroup too. I think it should make people a little more open to their neighborhood elementary schools and a bit more wary of some of the DCUM-favored charters. Also DCPS didn’t develop these; OSSE did. And the weighting was largely dictated by the US Dept of Education (test scores had to comprise bulk of ratings for ES and MS, and for high schools the graduation rate was heavily factored in).
