[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Um proficiency is directly correlated to SES and at-risk levels [/quote] Yes, of course, and (on a macro level) when it comes to directing resources/rewarding performance that is highly important. But (on a micro level) that doesn't help determine the comparable quality of an education from an individual school. In other words, what is the intended audience/use of these scores? A deep dive into the social constructs of these neighborhoods highlights the problems of an overreliance on top level demographics. For instance: English learners at JKLM = diplomat/IFI kids. In other parts of the city it equals 1st Gen immigrants. The background of those two population groups is vastly different. By creating a system reliant on top level, acontextual, demographics we develop a vicious cycle of circular data that illuminates far less than we think [/quote]
