[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oyster wouldn't be Oyster if it wasn't in Woodley Park. Fact.[/quote]

Adams rides on the coat tails of Oyster. [/quote]

You're still getting your information from old gossip about Adams' students left over from the 2007 merger.  As someone pointed out up thread, Adams is now retaining over 90% of the SAME Oyster students whose coattails you say they're riding.  So I guess they're riding their own coattails, right?  Oyster also sends a disproportionate number of its graduates to Walls every year.[/quote]

Affluent children leave in kinder, first, second...not just in fifth grade, dear.
3rd Grade PARCC scores in ELA and Math (54% and 74%, passing or exceeding)
7th grade PARCC scores: 45% and 40% (8th grade data not available)

What a dip! Maybe it's the lead pipes over at the Adams building.

You and Canizales can spin this however you guys like- please continue to blame gossip and I will just stick with the data.

Adams was only retaining around half of its students (in 4th through 6th grades) before Deal was eliminated as a feeder option.  Deal hasn't been an option for only 3 years.  Watch those Adams PARCC scores over the next few years as those affluent retained students move up.  No spin necessary, dear.

Btw, Oyster's retention in the early grades (K through 3rd is even higher than Adams--mid 90s).  You should stick to posting about things you actually know.[/quote]

Do you need the 5th grade and the 6th grade data, too? 
You can stick to your prediction and I will stick with the data, hun.[/quote]

Your &quot;data&quot; is useless to refute my point.  When Deal was eliminated as an option, Oyster's 3rd graders at the time are only entering 5th grade this fall.  We don't have their 7th grade test scores, hun.[/quote]

This is not correct. The kids entering 7th grade now didn't have the opportunity to go to Deal.[/quote]

Ok, try to keep up.  The poster who hates Oyster was trying to make the point that the quality of the student body/test scores take a nose dive after 3rd grade (&quot;Adams is riding on Oyster's coattails.&quot;).  Her assumption is that 4th grade and up is when those with means peel off for private or move (she assumes this brain drain accelerates in middle school).  I made the point that the &quot;high testing&quot; 3rd graders who were shut out of Deal are now only entering 5th grade.  So we'll see how this cohort does now that Oyster is retaining &gt;90% of those high performing 3rd graders.[/quote]
