[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet their senior class has gotten into phenomenal colleges/universities. Yep. Must be a terrible place. Full panic. 🙄[/quote]

No kids at the school but I just looked up the SAT average and it’s abysmal at 964.  There is a disconnect here with what you are saying.[/quote]

What you call a “disconnect” is the simple statistical fact that the average does not define the upper bound of a distribution.

The SAT average at JR is 1083, and everyone knows the top kids there have high scores and attend great colleges. MacArthur is the same. [/quote]

There is not many kids at the upper bound of distribution if the average is that low.

A few outliers does not define a good school with challenge and rigor. [/quote]

The average scores will go up do to an increased number of kids on the high end.

There are more high-performing kids in the current 9th grade because that's the first class of Hardy kids to no longer have j-R as an option.

With that said, if DCPS actually wanted to create a successful rather than middling school, they would have given no Hardy students to the option to choose J-R.  [/quote]

Have you looked at CAPE scores?  Not a lot of high performing kids coming from Hardy esp in math.  Deal was the one contributing many mire high performing kids, the majority, when JR was the only feeder for both schools.

Also only about 1/2 Hardy families continued on to MA thus year.  I would not consider that a lot of buy in.  Scores will not miraculously go way up with such a small sample.  [/quote]
