[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Caucasian kids overall at Hearst destroyed the test last year.  86% at 4+ for ELA and 89% at 4+ for math.  Can't breakdown by class because the classes are so small.  Big gains for the other populations there too. Great job owls!  No substitute for small class sizes.  [/quote]

Uh, except the results for the only other race breakout at Hearst (AA) are horribly disparate from the white students. I find that concerning when other schools in the area seem to do significantly better with the achievement gap between races. [/quote]

Uh, but you are not factoring SES into your analysis. Hearst is much more diverse in that metric than JKLMM.  That's what makes the upward AA swing even more impressive and outpaces the city overall. [/quote]

Half the JKLMM schools don't even report on other than white students since they have so few of them, so yes, my analysis did include more diverse schools.

Take Eaton for example which has a significant OOB population like Hearst. The achievement gap is no where near as stark.[/quote]
