[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are folks getting the SAT data for any of these schools ? On the dc report card it does not state the school's score but rather the Percentage of students who meet or exceed the College and Career Ready Benchmark on the SAT, which is set by the College Board. That score is 480 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 530 in Math.

https://www.dcschoolreportcard.org/schools/1-0466/college-career-readiness

This is the number set by the college board. The exact same phrase is found on the page for each dcps high-school. Walls and banneker alike. Please tell me I'm missing this and someone actually posted the actual scores for each school. If so please repost the link. I've read this entire thread but can't find which page the discussion of score started on.

Thanks![/quote]

For Banneker..here is pretty much everything you want to know....https://www.benjaminbanneker.org/ourpages/auto/2015/3/22/49894145/Banneker%20School%20Profile%2021-22_.pdf?rnd=1635171254717

Thank you! The results are better than what was stated earlier in the thread, but yes, not as high as one would hope for a test in school. Is there a report like this for all schools? It is a great summary![/quote]

It's important to have accurate data-good or bad :-) ..I haven't seen any data like it for the others. The Charters have something similar in their evals.

Something odd is going on--they seem to stress SAT prep a lot but the scores don't show what one would expect. All SAT prep is not created equal. But I've never expected a school to totally prepare a kid for the SAT and ACT to the level I'd like. Writing is the biggie and where privates excel over publics. We shall see if some things change with the new location...[/quote]

You guys don't seem to get it.  The key to scoring high on the SATs isn't targeted prep, it's a rigorous and intellectually stimulating education from a young age, coupled with some natural intelligence and a love of learning.  If schools aren't providing the requisite inputs to teach advanced HS math, reading comprehension, writing etc, ambitious families and individual students need to do their best to augment what's being taught to score high.  With an adequate education, a kid can take a practice SAT or two and get all the prep they need to score in the 700s.   That's it, that's all. [/quote]

Hmm - so I want to push back on this a tad. I recall doing ok on my SAT 1s initially but improving with test prep. The test I totally excelled at without any test prep were the SAT 2s - the subject matter ones. I can't remember which three I did but one was Chemistry and wow-I blew that one out of the park.
