[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the sad part: The number being reported is the percentage scoring "proficient" or above. The cut-off for proficient on the DC-CAS puts you at the 16th percentile nationwide. Basically, if your school isn't scoring 84% proficient or higher, it's below average for a US school. I count ten schools that meet that level.[/quote] Did you attend Capitol Hill Montessori with your math skills or taught math there? If the cut-off for "proficient" is the equivalent of the 16th percentile nationwide and a school scores 34% proficient math - it means that 34% of the students are at the 16th percentile or above nationwide for math. Not that you need 84% of the students to be proficient or above to beat the national avg. You cannot simple subtract 100%-16%=84%. Those numbers are talking about 2 entirely different things.[/quote]
