[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are HRCS so popular? Test scores stink.

Depends on the school, obviously.  By way of example, I have a child at an HRCS.  She scored 94th percentile on the PARCC Math, which is average for her school.  [/quote]

So nice you got to share that story with everyone. [/quote]

How is that not a legitimate answer to the question?  I'm not bragging about my child and identifying her or her school, she's in average range.  I'm pointing out that test scores do not, in fact, universally "stink" at all HRCs as the subject line implied.

Apparently you're the sort of person who prefers less information instead of more, and gross generalizations over specifics.  Fine for you, but not everyone takes such a limited view.   [/quote]

So what was your DD's score on the PARCC English and the avg for the school?[/quote]

88th for PARCC English.  It's also in average range for the school, but on the lower end of the group than the Math score.  The students only spend half their time in English, and the school isn't a "teach to the test" environment, so I can live with it, but I'm going to have her do more outside reading here at home.

Is this a public charter immersion school in DC?  What was the school's overall PARCC scores in math and English (scores of 4 and above)?[/quote]

This can't be in DC.  I don't think any charters had scores in that high of a range.[/quote]

Might have been LAMB. They had too few 4th and 5th graders to be reported by OSSE but maybe the school shared the results with its parents?

[/quote]

I doubt that this is LAMB.  LAMB's scores in the earlier grades would be better.  A public charter immersion school in DC where these scores are average doesn't exist.[/quote]

LAMB's scores were pretty high. Could be them. [/quote]

Not that high.  LAMBS's scores are not even the highest amount public charter or DCPS immersion school scores.[/quote]
