[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That commute wouldn't bother me, OP, especially for SWS. Only thing to consider - SWS has no middle school feed.[/quote] SWS also has some of the challenges that CMI is having in their upper grades (I don't know as much about ITS). Touchy feely child centered is great until your kid starts missing academic metrics for middle school preparedness.[/quote] True that MS feed is an issue at SWS like pretty much everywhere else in Ward 6. What performance metrics exactly did SWS miss? Every school has room for improvement and SWS has yet to test at 5th grade where many DCPS/DCPCS schools see a drain. I wouldn't discount the impact of affluence at SWS or inequality anywhere else but the scores are objectively good. In context the scores also speak volumes for the achievement levels at DC PREP and KIPP with less affluent communities.

Since SWS does not have a 5th grade, overall numbers would misrepresent the overall picture. This should be for 3rd grade only. [/quote] no -- it's for 3rd and 4th grade. It doesn't misrepresent anything and the absence of 5th was clearly noted. 16-7 5th grade is half the size of 15-16 and will only comprise %20 of 16-17 overall test takers[/quote] No, I mean -- do the other school's states you cited include 5th grade? If they do, you're making an apples to oranges comparison. [/quote] +1. ITS for example may appear to be all white and rich, the scores you quote are 3rd-7th graders. Of which are probably 50+% farm and 90% minority.[/quote] fair enough on education campus number includes MS grades but the numbers are lower in those grades than 3-5 and CMI tested though 6th has too few students to break down reporting (45 total test takers in 3-6). Doesn't change top PARCC performers -- KIPP ES and DC PREP are campus models but break after 4th/3rd and Yu Ying thru 5th. All of the DCPS ES listed are through 5th -- 5th has smaller class sizes in many places making it less statistically significant. But if it makes you feel better here's apples to apples on LAMB and IT 3rd ELA Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS 38% Latin American Montessori Bilingual LAMB PCS 43.9% School Within School at Goding 71.8% 4th ELA Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS 23.1% Latin American Montessori Bilingual LAMB PCS 68% School Within School at Goding 60% 3rd Math Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS 44% Latin American Montessori Bilingual LAMB PCS 39% School Within School at Goding 61.5% 4th Math Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS 34.6% Latin American Montessori Bilingual LAMB PCS 52% School Within School at Goding 65% [/quote] That seems about right. Looks like the 3rd graders at LAMB and ITS did about the same. From what I know of both schools, they are pretty similar in demographics at that age. However, 4th graders at ITS is when you really see the stark change in the school's demographics. Not making excuses. But ITS 4th graders (today's 5th grade) is entirely minority and has disproportionate low income. There are maybe 16 kids in that class, maybe 10 that are not new to ITS. It's hard to really compare apples to apples at this point. Do you know the approx. demographics at SWS at that grade?[/quote] You do realize that LAMB is only like 25% white, right? And they have the second highest percentage of English language learners of the charter schools?[/quote]
