[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The school that Pope is at the helm is doing marvelously well.[/quote]

It's Savoy Elementary, near the Anacostia metro.  He got there in the spring of 2011, so he's had the 2011-12 school year and now this one to lead the school.  It has had some awesome visitors (Yo-yo Ma, Kerry Washington) but the DC-CAS scores haven't really improved so far.

In 2011, 15% of kids were proficient or advanced in math; in 2012 it was 16%  The percent of kids at the below basic level went up from 38 to 44.
Reading is actually worse: 21% of kids were proficient or advanced in 2011 and only 20% in 2012.  The percent of kids at the below basic level went up from 29 to 35.

Attendance also went down from 2011 to 2012, as did retention of highly-performing teachers (none left in 2011; 10% left in 2012).

Obviously a short time-frame, but I'm not super impressed.
[/quote]Very short-sighted analysis.
Watch this documentary about a DC high school and think again about the struggles that poor children face that aren't going to be resolved in a year.[/quote]
