I was trying to find data on how multiple sub-groups fared - at-risk male, black male, etc - and came across figures I hadn't seen before for at-risk whites in DC. There were 81 at-risk whites reported in the 2018 public school report card data. 28 had a median growth percentile for math (MGP). For the 28, their MGP for math was 27. For 'not at-risk white', their MGP was 61.  At-risk makes a huge difference on performance - no surprise there. [/quote]

Do you have this data (crosstab of race and/or ethnicity and at-risk city-wide)?  I think it's probably not meaningful at the school level because of the small sample size, but I would (especially) like to see if there's a way to tease out something from the citywide data to describe the interaction of the "at-risk" designation and race.[/quote]

You can get a lot of data on the OSSE website.  At this point in the year, the DC Schools Report Card stuff is pretty out of date so I would not rely on it.

I would also caution you that not all PARCC scores are reported.  Kids have to have been at the school for most of the year to be reported in this data set.   At-risk kids are more mobile so over-represented in that non-reported group.  So many schools are more at-risk than they seem from this data.  Also, MSAA results are not in and at-risk kids might be overrepresented in MSAA takers.  Just some things to be aware of.[/quote]

Helpful to know that the number of at-risk kids is likely understated in that population - thanks. I'm more interested in blunt ways to describe the data rather than perfect instruments. And I would REALLY like to see some analysis/reporting that describes black kids that don't fall into the at-risk definition - there are more kids that fall into this category than there are white kids in the entire city, and I think the way the data is reported ignores them.[/quote]

I think you could pull that out by subtracting other races, but you would be confounded by the two or more races category.  Also so many schools have n less than 10 in various categories so I dunno, I guess you could just fill in 5s or something.

OSSE has enrollment audit data, which is done in October.  It might be interesting to compare that data with the smaller group of kids whose PARCC scores are reported.[/quote]
