[quote=Anonymous] The idea that only 276 third graders in all of DCPS scored a 5 troubling. [/quote] No, it isn't. That is how the test is deigned. The PARCC is designed so that kids on track to attend college score a 4. A 5 is advanced for grade and should be outliers only. A 5 is supposed to be rare. If it isn't rare, then the test needs to be (and would be) adjusted to make a 5 rare again. In Massachusetts (often touted as the best), only 12% of 3rd graders scores a 5 in math the same year. For DC it was 10.5%.[/quote]
