[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not rocket science, simply check PARCC scores.

They are beyond dismal, especially in math.[/quote]

Come on, a lot of HS kids in this city blow off the 10th grade PARCC.   They don't necessarily try to answer questions correctly, or don't try very hard anyway.  They and their families care about AP scores and SAT scores.  Why should they care about PARCC scores?  What's in it for them?  I say this without defending DE's standardized test scores or academics!

Fair point and interesting theory.

Now go and look up AP and SAT scores.[/quote]

Ellington's average SAT scores is higher than the DCPS average (which is 913).

DESA - 955
McKinley - 1005
Banneker - 1109
SWW - 1272

APs are reported as the % of graduating seniors who passed 1 or more AP exams with a score of 3.

DESA 29%
McKinley 20%
Banneker 62%
SWW 80%

Thank you -- wow, those are bad.

In essense, no matter how you look at it, the academics at DE are bad. I guess we could see it as a vocational school for struggling students, similar to what they do in Germany.[/quote]
