[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also worth considering that while many middle schools offer Algebra I or Geometry, only some of those schools have a sizeable number or percent of students who test proficient. There are also big differences across schools with respect to placement of students (i.e., only a select few are offered vs the entire class takes it) and in the size of the student population prepared for Algebra I or  Geometry. CAPE scores can be a helpful first pass for assessing school placement philosophy and student readiness.

Some relevant stats from the SY23-24 CAPE from a previous thread:

Middle schools with 10 or more students passing the Geometry CAPE:

Latin - 35
DCI - 18
Deal - data suppressed, &gt;95%
Hardy - data suppressed, &gt;95%

Middle schools with 10 or more students passing the Algebra 1 CAPE:

Deal - 247
Hardy - 85
MacFarland - 33
Oyster-Adams - 32
Latin - 32
Stuart-Hobson - 30
Eliot-Hine - 27
DC Prep Edgewood - 23
ITDS - 23
DC Prep Benning - 18
Two Rivers - 18
Wells - 12
Jefferson - 12
CHEC - 12
Francis-Stevens - 11[/quote]

Not very helpful since schools and grades vary widely in size.[/quote]

Anyone can look at the CAPE data themselves to get a better sense of the number of students in a grade, the number of students taking advanced math, and the number of students scoring proficient in advanced math. How much you care about each of these things and these things in relation to one another (i.e., what they say about student population, school placement philosophy, student readiness) depends on what you think matters for your child's success.[/quote]
