[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like this year Shepherd has enough white kids to report their PARCC results--94 in both reading and math, so comparable to WOTP schools.

Just picking a couple of WOTP schools at random, Janney's white students' scores are 90/86, and Lafeyette's are 86/90.

However, Shepherd's black and Hispanic students scores are far lower, which suggests there is room for improvement there--54/50 for black students, and 40/30 for Hispanic students.

In comparison, I looked at Lafayette's black student scores--48/54, and Janney, 59/45.  Doesn't look like any of these schools are doing amazingly with black students.

Interestingly, Lafayette's Hispanic scores are pretty high--89/75.  Ditto for Lafayette, 86/68.

I'd be interested to see what elementary schools have the highest PARCC scores for black and Latino students..  [/quote]

Great job Shepherd. It’s important to note that with Shepherd, 25% of their population (likely minority) are low income so not exactly apples to apples. What’s even more impressive to me is the scores between at risk and not at risk are very close 50/50 vs 60/56. Compare that with Lafayette (32/47 vs 82/84) and Murch (Janney didn’t have enough at risk) of (38/23 vs 76/76).[/quote]

Not sure where you numbers above but looking at the list of all schools, Shepard is only in the 50 percentage with students at grade level in ELA and math, far below the EOTP schools.[/quote]

Meant WOTP schools[/quote]

Like PP mentions before, you should know that Shepherd has a far different makeup than schools WOTP (and not they are about same as Hearst). Shepherd’s white kids perform better than any school WOTP that I can see. Shepherd AA kids score higher than many WOTP AA kids (some of which there are not enough to count), same for at risk. Shepherd has 25% low income in their population in their school, WOTP averages like 6%. Do you really not know how to compare schools? Is that why DCPS is so bad in math? :)[/quote]

Here’s some info to you.  Most parents could care less about what race, SES status the students are.  We care about peer group and how many students are at least at grade level.  [/quote]

I actually watch the 3s. If more at-risk or historically underperforming racial and ethnic groups are scoring 3, that's not bad. Persistent 2s and 1s are concerning. You aren't going to go from 2 to 4 in a year.[/quote]
