[quote=Anonymous]So the thing about Latin, for all of you folks desperate to avoid S-H, is that Latin also doesn't track for middle school and its testing cohorts (in particular, place and white students) perform almost EXACTLY THE SAME as the cohorts in S-H for PARCC ELA, which is the thing you want to look at if you are worried about "kids who can't read" pulling down the level of the class. Both schools have enough black and white kids at 6, 7, and 8th grades to report results. And because S-H has more kids, there are actually a lot more kids on/above grade level at S-H compared to Latin. (in 6th grade, 98 kids at S-H vs. 59 at Latin) There is valid argument about feeder high schools to be made, but yeah, any complaints about the academics or performance of S-H - in which Latin is held up as an exemplar - are pretty racist.
