[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We accepted and love it and I hear great things about 1st.  My kids can’t wait to go to school every day.  The PARCC scores are higher than my DCPS so it is all relative.[/quote]

Probably not when you compare by demographics. CMI will likely be all 2 stars this year. [/quote]

Here we go.  The vocal anti-CMI poster.  Give it a break will you.  [/quote]

35% ELA scores. Comparatively, nearby title 1 DCPS score higher. Barnard 37%, West 42%, Whittier  43%, Truesdell 43%, Dorothy Height 41%, Bruce Monroe 39%.[/quote]

True, but this does not give the full picture...

CMI 60% 3rd grade math. Comparatively, nearby title 1 DCPS scores. Barnard 38.6%, West 43.2%, Whittier 66.7%, Truesdell 23.6%, Dorothy Height 48.1%, Bruce Monroe 38.9%.

CMI 70% 4th grade math. Comparatively, nearby title 1 DCPS scores. Barnard 47.4%, West 42.4%, Whittier 47.8%, Truesdell 28.6%, Dorothy Height 46.7%, Bruce Monroe 38.8%.

Why are you cherry picking math? Stay on topic. You are supposed to be 30-40 points higher in every subject when you’re being compared to a 70% low income or a 60% ELL school. You are not supposed to be 10 points lower in ELA is the point.

CMI 3rd grade ELA: 39%
ITS 3rd grade ELA (for closet peer comparison WOW!!): 63% (69% in math)
Barnard 3rd grade ELA: 21%
West 3rd grade ELA: 49%
Whittier 3rd grade ELA: 48%

CMI 4th grade ELA: 35%
[b]ITS 4th grade ELA: 85% (double wow!! A 50 point spread) (74% in math)[/b]
Barnard 4th grade ELA: 49%
West 4th grade ELA: 29%
Whittier 4th grade ELA: 43%

So I’m begging to know which DCPS school most of y’all are zoned for that is worse than CMI because travel data show many (most) come from nearby.[/quote]

NP.  They aren’t cherry picking math any more than you are cherry picking ELA.  Congrats to CMI for its success in math.  Congrats to Bruce Monroe for success in ELA!   Wonderful to see successes wherever they come.[/quote]

Uh no. CMI scored in Math the way they are SUPPOSED to score based on their demographics. I said that in PP. You’re burying the lead. CMI continues to miss city averages on almost every other measurement. They are scoring 10-15% lower than a school with 2-3 times more low income and English-language learners. Their 4th graders are 50 points away from the 4th graders down the street at Inspired (a school with similar demographics). Overall, white students are 20 points lower than city average.[/quote]

What I find interesting is that CMI parents don’t care.  I have a friend at CMI who has a 4th grader, I’ve seen the math - they are way behind what my child did in 4th grade. Yet, if you bring up any concerns they spew weird rhetoric at you. [/quote]

I find this so interesting. Why do you think the parents turn such a blind eye to the academic failings? And when do they finally wake up and realize the issue (or do they ever)?[/quote]
