I know dc is full of people who know what to do with data in a spreadsheet like this. Can someone please turn this into information my simple brain can understand!? [/quote]

This is a great dashboard. Very interesting to see YOY results as well as results compared to the pre-COVID baseline. [/quote]

However, this dashboard doesn't really tell you much about picking a school because you have to take other factors into account and drill down further.  For instance, you should look at Brent and Maury scores for 4th grade since a lot of high-scoring kids leave for Basis, Latin etc. for 5th.  Similarly, you should look at 9th grade for Basis, Latin, DCI, etc. since these schools start in 5th or 6th grade and you want to see the scores of kids after they have been at those schools for a few years.

However, there are some interesting details here.  For example, for 4+, Banneker math scores are 38% lower than 2019 and Walls math scores are 16.7% lower.  [b]Apparently, learning math during the pandemic was a challenge even for normally high-achieving kids.[/b][/quote]

Pre-pandemic, both Banneker and Walls used PARCC scores in admissions. Post-pandemic, that’s not allowed. That’s why math PARCC scores fell at both schools. (English PARCC scores are easier to predict from a writing sample and/or interview.)[/quote]

That could be be part of it, although I doubt the 5-minute student-led Walls interview really substitutes for an ELA PARCC score.  Moreover, given the GPA cut-off at Walls, presumably all these kids had straight As/A-s in math. [/quote]

You hardly need to be testing proficient to get an A in 7th grade math in DCPS. But sure, both the pandemic and the changed admissions standards likely play a role. [/quote]
