[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The test scores are appallingly bad. Like why isn't this school treated like other failing charters bad. The families seem mostly happy.[/quote]
Can anyone slap on the Montessori name??[/quote]

Because the way the DCPCSB scores schools, the test scores are only one part of it.  Lee does well on a lot of other metrics such as attendance and re-enrollment and their QSRs are glowing.  The bar for charter renewal is pretty low, and it's not controlled for demographics.  Lee's test scores are appalling in light of its higher-income demographics, but they're not atrocious if you don't control for that.  Also, Lee doesn't have very many students in the PARCC testing grades, so the numbers aren't that meaningful.

Having said that, Lee is up for review in school year 23-24 and we'll see how that goes.  Most likely they'll be passed along with little discussion just like SSMA was.  But the PCSB is changing the way that it scores schools, so maybe that will have some impact.  In the meantime, parents beware.

Montessori accreditation is a separate thing.[/quote]
