SWS outperformed both of them on PARCC last year[/quote]

I think SWS is a bit of an anomaly. The PARCC scores are indeed impressive. But please recall that last year there was no 5th grade so the testing results only include 3 & 4 results. For both Maury and Brent, the 5th grade scores tend to bring down the scores considerably.[/quote]

I don't know. . . there's a big drop off for 5th grade at each of these schools. If you look at 3rd and 4th grade scores exclusively the same more or less holds true.

3rd ELA/M (4+)
B 57/67
M 50/50
S 72/62

4th ELA/M (4+)
B 70/60
M 45/43
S 60/65

This is, unfortunately, mostly about the racial breakdown of the schools. The stats for comparable cohorts are very similar. For instance, white kids AND black kids at L-T do better than at Maury, but Maury has a higher average SOLELY due to the demographics of the schools.[/quote]

Not arguing about the SWS scores, but I question whether your last statement is accurate. If you look at Maury's scores broken out by ethnicity, you have a 78% meet or exceed for both ELA and Math. This is very comparable to SWS which has an 80/82. Are you trying to suggest that L-T has a higher score than this for the white population? I doubt that is likely, but since the testing group is too small a sample the results aren't broken out that way.  For sure the black population at L-T does better than the black population at Maury, though. And I do find that impressive.[/quote]
