[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Creative Minds continues its downward spiral. Not at-risk scores a whopping 41/48 compared to their at-risk population of 14/16.[/quote]

Their middle school results dragged down the numbers for the elementary.  3rd and 4th grade results are improved over last year, and math scores are really good - not a surprise as the 3rd and 4th grade math teachers last year were wonderful.[/quote]

Less than half of the non at risk kids passed. Spin it how you wish but don’t blame middle school kids.[/quote]

The 2019 scores are overall slightly better than last year's  How is that "continuing its downward spiral"?[/quote]

That can be explained by the increase in white students into testing grades (ie, 3 more passing kids).

Put it this way: Creative Minds, a school with 1/3 white kids, scored 34% in ELA. District wide is 37%. Their white students scored 61%, what’s the DC average, like 81%? Grade by grade, 17-26% scored a 1 on ELA. These are not kids that are 1-2 questions away from getting a 4.[/quote]

I'm not looking for an "explanation" of the scores.  What I would like to know is why someone thinks it's fine to post a, shall we say, blatantly untruthful statement that would mislead others into thinking that CMI's PAARC scores are tanking, when they clearly aren't?[/quote]

How about “CMI continues to be well below every single measure compared to poorer DCPS schools.” Or “you’re CMI student is more likely to score a 1 than a 4 on PARCC.” What about “Even rich, White kids are 20+ points below their white peers across the city and not being well-served by CMI.” To be honest, saying they continue to spiral is better than the reality of how bad they’re doing. Should have let that slide o stead of quibbling over whether the scores stayed the same, went down a few points, or went up a few points. [/quote]

Thanks for proving my point  it's OK to lie about a school if you personally don't approve of it.  Niceeee . . . .[/quote]
