[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just looked at the stats for this school. In 2013-13 this school had a 78% free and reduced lunch rate, 44% limited English proficiency rate, 20% special education services rates, and a 24% mobility rate. If you look at the DRA scores, you see that fewer than half of first and second graders are reading at or above grade level. The behavior offenses are also very high for an elementary school. Most of them have ZERO offenses.

This is a very, very high needs school population by almost any standard. Look at ANY McLean elementary school and compare any of the above stats.

There are many schools in-between McLean and Title One schools. I'm not sure comparing title one schools to McLean does a whole lot of good at any time. McLean does well, so we should look at what they do successfully, but the schools shouldn't really be compared to each other as to whether a title one school is successful or not. There are about 140 elementary schools just in FCPS.[/quote]
