DCUM been sleeping on KIPP[/quote]

I'm not trying to attack KIPP specifically, but its easy to rank high when you can kick out students with behavior problems or simply limit enrollment (unlike public schools who have to accept everyone). I also don't think many parents here would want their children in a school as rigid and scripted as a KIPP.

I say all this to say that the rankings in general seem ridiculous for elementary schools. Data is more reflective of parental support and involvement and not the schools/teachers themselves. All high ranking schools have extremely active PTOs. [/quote]

I think it's interesting that you would mention this about Kipp when each kipp school was ranked individually. The #7 kipp school really stood out and I don't see why credit can't be given when due. Maury also really stood out surpassing many of the other Hill schools and WOP schools. Kudos to them as well.

The poster who posted the results of kipp selectively chose not to post the results of the one ranked #7 which is really strange. What angle is being played with that post?[/quote]

But it’s the truth, not just KIPP but any charter can kick out students, even by saying ‘we can’t meet the iep hours,’ a DCPS school would be sued.[/quote]
