[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 out of 4 of the schools in JKLM are still the best in terms of PARCC scores. Key and Janney are in top 5 for both ELA and Math. Ross is too, even though it's not JKLM, so maybe we should change it to JKLR :)
OP, what makes you think they are not sought after?

[b]Average ELA Score by School (Top 60 Schools)[/b]
School Without Walls High School 94.07
Benjamin Banneker High School 88.62
Janney Elementary School 88.19
Ross Elementary School 86.66
Key Elementary School 80.25

[b]Average Math Score by School (Top 60)[/b]

I know most parents are not teachers but I used to teach at one of these schools and now teach at a title 1 school. The difference really isn’t the teachers are better or the schools are ran better. The difference is literally the circumstances of families. The truancy and tardy rates are lower at these schools. Less ELL students who need more support, no self contained classrooms, lower rates of students with disabilities who need a higher level of modification, etc.

If 50% of students from one of these schools switched with the highest level of need students from another, let’s see what would happen lol.
I guess I understand but let’s not tell lies that these schools are better, it is mostly the concentration of students with less need and all of these families trying to get to the same MS.

Just my thoughts and IMO it was way easier to teach at my last school, I just had more annoying and busy body parents compared to now (most were lovely 75-80% but my current school 98% are).[/quote]
