[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big improvement at Two Rivers, all campuses.

Slight dip at ITDS.[/quote]

I don't mean this as a jab to Two Rivers, just want to make sure I am looking at site correctly. I went to the EmpowerEd site, and sorted by performance of 'all students'. When I sorted by school, it looked like they dropped 2-4% from last year's scores, and a range of 3-21% less than pre-pandemic. Again, not judging that school at all, and I think the emphasis on these tests is not the best way to use our energy. But just wanted to ask if I was looking at that data incorrectly before I started looking at other data. [/quote]

It's totally possible that I'm doing it wrong. You have to be really careful looking at all the subgroups and it's easy to mess it up.[/quote]

Not PP but it automatically sets to at risk group so you need to change drop down to all students.[/quote]

IMO that is the strongest way to interpret these test results. If a school improves its scores bc the demographics shift and they have more affluent kids it doesn't mean as much to me. Schools that do the best job at chipping away at the achievement gap should be celebrated the most. [/quote]

I have a high achieving kid and could care less about the at risk.  It doesn’t apply to my kid.

I absolutely care about the percentages of kids performing at or above grade level.  The huger the better and I don’t care what SES level the kids are.  It means content can actually be taught at grade level as your floor.

Feel free to send your kid with 70% plus below grade level but I won’t be.[/quote]

Interesting. For my high achieving ES kid, I look at the data that matches them demographically (white & non-economically disadvantaged); as long as the data can be reported, there are at least 10 students in that category, which is enough for multiple small groups that appropriate content can be taught to if there's a solid pass rate (especially considering kids from other demographic groups obviously add on too). I also look at the percentage of 5s in those categories. That shows whether the school is actually teaching the capable kids or just letting them coast and focusing only on those behind. For what it's worth, I totally understand why a school would do that, but if a school with a reportable number of UMC white kids isn't getting any 5s, it's because they aren't trying to.[/quote]
