[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm appalled that the PP is automatically equating discipline issues and poor academic performance with "brown kids."[/quote]

Let's be real, we know the only demographic differences between Janney and Shepherd are the following:

Shepherd:
79% black
4% white
9% hispanic
8% multi
33% FARM

Janney: 
9% black
71% white
9% hispanic
4% asian
7% other
4% FARM

So when PP presumes that a school like Shepherd has "discipline" issues, what exactly do you think she was referring to? The only demographic difference between J&S is that the AA and white % is flipped.

Janney has index score of 94% with only 4% FARM
Shepherd has index score of 76% with 33% FARM

That is telling to me. To me, on paper, both schools seem to be doing a stellar job. I give a little more credit to Shepherd because they have a population of students that Janney does not (FARM). 
As for me and my family, S looks better than J for the things we look for in a school. Also, they are IB.[/quote]

Janney and Shepherd's truancy and suspension rates are virtually identical.  Where do in the know posters get their discipline #s from?  I get my information from DCPS School Profile.  This poster that talks about discipline issues is completely uninformed.[/quote]

And also, Shepherd's proficiency #s for black students are almost identical to Janney's performance (actually 1% better than Janney for math) so those students are doing well in spite of [quote]large percentage of his or her classmates are below grade level and a number bring discipline issues to school everyday[/quote].  You liberal segregationists can stay in your white bubble and pretend that's what the world looks like.[/quote]

First angry poster that posted all that data. Thanks for taking an even deeper dive and proving PP's comment was offensive. I really do think it's one evil poster with a lot of time on their hands that likes to upset people. See the most recent post ("Murch will never be on JKLM level"). I really wish they would just go away.[/quote]
