[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this UPDATED chart, Shining Stars is still a Tier 1 school at 63.3, even though a Tier 2 school scored above it on the PMF at 63.4 and the cutoff is officially 65.

That’s such bullshit.  DC just doesn’t want to ruin their numbers they promoted.[/quote]

And their math is still wrong unless they goose the numbers when they repost.  I saved the old copy[/quote]

My guess is they changed some of the underlying numbers. I will be interested to see in what ways.

PCSB really needs to own this error and take back the Tier 1 ranking. Otherwise, they are undermining EVERYTHING about the ranking system and their fidelity to the process. (The search page for school quality reports lists SSMA as a Tier 2.)

It stinks for SSMA, but if I were involved with the school, I also wouldn't want to be given a grade I didn't earn. (The graduation scandals echo in strange places...)[/quote]

The chart has been mostly fixed now:

Shining Stars is officially a Tier 2 school, though - for no reason -  it still is printed ahead of the school with 63.4 on the chart.

The 63.3. number still isn't the right number if you use the scores reported in the original PMF. That number would be 60.77, so 60.7 or 60.8[/quote]
